The second semi-final match of the T20 World Cup will be played between India and England tonight at 8 pm IST. Both teams would like to win this match and reach the final. But there is a possibility of heavy rain on this match. If the match is canceled due to rain, then England's problems will increase. Team India will benefit from this. It has been raining in Guyana for the last several days, due to which the ground has become wet. Now the former captain of England has raised questions on this.
Why are there so few outfield covers?
Amidst the rain in Guyana, a user shared a photo of the ground on social media and wrote that it is raining heavily in Guyana. If Semi-final-2 is cancelled, India will become the second team to play the World Cup final without winning the semi-final. In 1999, Australia played a draw with South Africa, but still qualified for the final.
Former England cricketer Michael Vaughan wrote on this post: It's monsoon season, there is a risk of heavy rain, I can understand but why is there so little cover for the entire outfield? You get covers to cover a large part of the field.
If the match is cancelled then England will be out
Currently, looking at the weather in Guyana, the lives of England team and fans are in danger. If the semi-final match is cancelled due to rain, then Team India will reach the final without playing a match and England will be out of the World Cup. Because Team India is at the top in Group-1 and England is at the second position in its group. Due to this, Team India can reach the final.
