The T20 World Cup semifinals have been marred by inclement weather, with Guyana experiencing heavy rainfall during the India-England clash and Barbados, the venue for the final, facing a similar forecast.
India's emphatic 68-run victory over England propelled them into the title match against South Africa, who comfortably defeated Afghanistan in the first semifinal. However, the teams' travel to Bridgetown, Barbados, for the final on June 29th, has raised concerns due to the gloomy weather outlook.
Unlike the second semifinal, the final has a reserve day (June 30th) in place. However, the weather forecast for both days is far from ideal. Accuweather.com predicts "cloudy, breezy, and humid" conditions on Saturday (June 29th), with a high probability of showers and thunderstorms, particularly in the early hours. The cloud cover is expected to be 99%.
The forecast for the reserve day (June 30th) is equally concerning, with "mostly cloudy and humid" conditions and a likelihood of rain and thunderstorms in the afternoon.
The weather conditions could significantly impact the final, potentially forcing delays or even a postponement. The International Cricket Council (ICC) will be closely monitoring the situation and making contingency plans if necessary.
Despite the weather concerns, fans remain hopeful that the final will be played in its entirety and that the tournament will conclude with a thrilling and memorable match.
