The second semi-final of the T20 World Cup is to be played between India and England in Guyana on 27 June. This match will be played at Guyana's Providence Stadium on 27 June at 8 pm according to Indian time. 

There is one day left in the match, but it is raining heavily in Guyana. Due to this, there is doubt on whether the match will be played completely.

According to the ground report, there is a 70 percent chance of rain during the match. India and England teams may also face problems in practice before the match. As per the rules, the match time can be extended by 4 hours in case of rain. If even then the weather and pitch are not conducive for playing, then the match may be cancelled and Super-8 table topper India will get the ticket to the final.

There is a 70 percent chance of rain in the match between India and England to be held in Guyana on June 27 at 8 pm. At the same time, there are also 28% indications of a storm. No reserve day has been kept for the second semi-final. 

In such a situation, if the match gets cancelled, then as per ICC rules, the final match will be played against the table topper India of the Super 8. India topped the Group-1 of the Super 8 by winning all the three matches. If the match gets cancelled due to rain, then India will face the winner of Semi-final-1 in the final.

In the league stage of T20 World Cup, one match each between India and England was washed out due to rain.

At the same time, India's match against Canada to be held in Florida on 15th June was also cancelled without a toss.
