T20 WC: What Will Happen If The India Vs West Indies Super 8s Clash Is Washed Out? Know Rules
West Indies Super: Defending champions India will face West Indies in a virtual quarterfinal at the Eden Gardens on Sunday. The semifinal equation is quite simple for both teams; the winner of the encounter will reach the next round along with South Africa from Group A. However, things can get complicated if the match gets washed out or abandoned.
Unlike actual quarterfinals, the reserve day is not available for the match. So if rain or any other calamity affects the match, then the teams will share one point each and will finish at the same points.
According to the rules, in that case, the semifinal berth will be decided based on Net Run Rate (NRR). If that happens, West Indies will move to the semifinal on the virtue of their superior net run rate of +1.791, compared to India’s -0.100, and the hosts will be eliminated. So, the Men in Blue need to win this match at any cost and can’t afford to see it abandoned.
