India and South Africa (IND vs SA) are the teams that have reached the semi-finals of the T20 World Cup 2024. A tough competition is expected between the two. India and Africa played brilliantly throughout the tournament. The final match will be played in Barbados on 29 June.

India will fight to win its second T20 World Cup title, while Africa is looking for its first title. However, it is rainy season in West Indies these days. In such a situation, if it rains on the day of the final, then ICC has also kept a reserve day for it. But what will happen? If it rains on the reserve day as well. Let us know what ICC's rule says in such a situation.

IND vs SA : Reserve day to be held on 30 June

  • The final match will be played in Barbados on June 29. If it rains during the match on this day, then the umpires will first try to conduct a match of 10-10 overs.
  • If there is heavy rain then the match will have to wait for 3 hours and 10 minutes. But even after all these circumstances if the match does not take place on 29th June then the umpires will use 30th June. In such a situation, if it rains on the reserve day as well then the umpires will follow this rule of ICC.

Who will be the winner?

  • According to ICC rules, if the match is cancelled due to rain on the reserve day, the umpires will declare both the teams as joint winners.
  • That means India will win its second title, while Africa will win its first title. However, both the teams would not want this at all. Indian captain Rohit Sharma and African captain Aiden Markram would like the match to have a result.
