Providence Stadium of Guyana… Crores of cricket fans have their eyes on this ground because the semi-final of T20 World Cup 2024 is to be played between India and England here. However, the fans are a little tense because it has been raining continuously in Guyana for the last one week and the semi-final of the T20 World Cup is in danger.

But you will be surprised to know that no matter how much water rains in Guyana, the match in its stadium never gets washed away. No matter how much rain falls in Guyana, the Providence ground here dries up in minutes. This is the reason why it is considered the most miraculous in the West Indies. But the question is, how does this happen?

Guyana's drainage system is very special

On one hand, special covers and air systems are installed to dry the ground in the big stadiums of the world, on the other hand, nothing like this happens in Guyana.

But despite this, even the water from two days of continuous rain here dries up in 20 minutes. The biggest reason for this is the excellent drainage system of the stadium. The ground of Guyana was used for the first time in the 2007 World Cup. This is the same ground where Lasith Malinga took four consecutive wickets against South Africa. Let us tell you that when the foundation of this ground was laid, special attention was paid to its drainage system. Sand has been used to build this ground. A submerged drainage system has been installed in this stadium, due to which 90 percent of the water dries up automatically. World class super soppers are used to dry the remaining water.

The covers are off and the players are out for a sneak peek at the pitch!

Special attention has been paid to the drainage system of Guyana Stadium because it rains more here than other Caribbean islands. In July-August, it rains here for 28 days in a month. But the surprising thing is that despite this, the matches of Caribbean Premier League are never cancelled here.

Guyana's stadium built with the strength of India

The Indian government has played a major role in building the stadium in Guyana. The construction of this stadium began in 2005 and the Indian government helped the Guyana government in this. At that time, India had given a loan of 19 million dollars to the Guyana government and India also played a major role in providing all the facilities. The stadium in Guyana was built by Shapoorji Pallonji & Company Limited, which is an Indian company. This stadium was built in just 2 years and today see how much this ground is being discussed.
