“Intervals of clouds and sunshine with a couple of showers, mainly early in the day,” predicts the Accuweather app for Thursday morning (West Indies time).
The semi-final match between India and England does not have a reserved day on Friday. Instead, there are an additional 250 minutes of playing time available in case of rain at the venue. If the match in Guyana is washed out, India will advance to the final, surpassing England.
The pitch at Providence Stadium is expected to be favorable for spin. As the match is scheduled during the day, the wicket is likely to get slower as the game progresses. This condition will make scoring in the Powerplay crucial since the ball will get older and batters might find it challenging to execute power hitting and strike rotation in the middle overs. However, if rain interrupts the game, the pitch might get damp, potentially making batting easier as the match progresses.
Cricket fans are eagerly waiting to see how the weather and pitch conditions will influence this crucial semi-final showdown between two cricketing giants.
