Team India on Saturday will lock horns with South Africa in the T20 World Cup final 2024 at Kensington Oval in Bridgetown, Barbados. INDvsSA T20 World Cup Final 2024 is among the most awaited events of the year with all the cricketing world expected to be glued to the epic encounter. While the Men In Blue has qualified for the T20 World Cup final after 10 years, South Africa is playing the final of the ICC event for the first time in its history. While Team India knocked the defending champions England out of the tournament in Guyana, the Proteas defeated the high-on-confidence team Afghanistan to qualify for their first-ever T20 World Cup final.
With the excitement at its peak, the rain may play a spoilsport yet again in the T20 World Cup final. Bridgetown, Barbados Weather Today has a 70 percent chance of rain on the match day and a 99 percent chance on the reserve day. Now, the question arises what will be Bridgetown, Barbados' rain timing?
As per AccuWeather, there are 47% to 51% chances of rain from 9 am to 1 pm (local time). Notably, in West Indies Local Time, the India vs South Africa T20 World Cup final scheduled time is 10:30 AM local time. In India, the same time is 8 pm (IST). Therefore, it can be said that rain may delay the proceedings.
However, the predictions for INDvsENG were also grim but after a delay of a few hours, the match was played in nice sunny weather.
What if India vs South Africa T20 World Cup 2024 gets washed out?
For a knockout match to be completed, ICC has guidelines that both teams should play at least 10 overs. However, if one of the teams cannot play 10 overs, then the match will move to the reserve day. On Reserve Day, the match will resume from where it was left off. Going by the weather predictions, if the reserve day also gets washed out, then umpires will try to decide the winner with the help of super over. However, the condition remains grim, and not a single ball can be bowled, then India and South Africa will be declared joint T20 World Cup 2024 champions.
