The weather gods have been kind. Just 2 matches have been seriously affected by rain in the T20 World Cup 2026. Both were abandoned, one in the group stage and one in the Super 8, but they didn’t have a major impact on the overall outcome. However, if a match were to be abandoned now, it would have serious ramifications.
Rain hasn’t caused an issue in the first semifinal between South Africa and New Zealand, at least not yet. But will the same happen in the India vs England semifinal? The ICC has provided a reserve day and additional time for the game, on the match day and reserve day, just to be sure the game concludes. But one never knows.
Mind you, India won’t like the match to be abandoned. As per the ICC rules, in case there is no result in a semifinal, the team that was ranked higher in the Super 8 stage will go through. Since England topped Group 2, they’ll reach the final.
