What if SA vs AFG is disrupted?

If rain disrupts play during the SA vs AFG semi-final of the T20 World Cup 2024, there are measures in place to ensure a result is still possible. If there’s only a slight delay, the game can continue using an additional 60 minutes on the scheduled match day, Wednesday, June 26. Since the semi-final is a night game, this extra hour will help complete the match.

If the game still can’t be finished, it will be moved to Thursday, June 27, with 190 minutes allocated for play. For a result to be valid in a reduced-overs scenario, each team must have played at least 10 overs. This ensures that even with weather interruptions, the semi-final and final can proceed fairly.
