With the weather playing a spoilsport during Thursday's first ICC
World T20 semi-final clash between Sri Lanka and the West Indies in
Mirpur, cricket lovers would expect a rain-free day during the second
semi-final between India and South Africa to be played at the same venue
on Friday.\
However, as per the latest weather forecast in Mirpur, the weathermen are predicting the possibility of a strong thunderstorm in the evening, with 89 per cent humidity and 60 per cent cloud cover.
A dominant Sri Lanka on Thursday made it to the final for the
third time knocking out defending champions West Indies by 27 runs via
the Duckworth Lewis method after hail and thundershowers stopped
proceedings at the Shere Bangla National Cricket Stadium.
India, however, will be lucky because if it eventually pours on
Friday they would then automatically advance to the final of the
tournament.
As per the playing conditions, even if a five-over per-side match is not possible, the team that is ranked higher in their respective group will be declared winner of the contest.
In this case it will be India as they have emerged as group toppers, winning all their four matches in Group 2, while South Africa were second in their group with six points by virtue of three wins.
