The group stage of the Cricket World Cup is done and dusted. India finished the league stage undefeated with 9 wins and will play New Zealand in semi-final 1 at Wankhede Stadium on November 15. Meanwhile, South Africa, who finished second on points table, will face Australia in semi-final 2 at Eden Gardens on November 16. While Indian fans are eagerly waiting to see Men in Blue in action on Wednesday, many are concerned about the weather. And whether rain will play a spoilsport in the game?
While the weather is predicted to be good for the big semi-final clash, fans are curious what will happen if rain washes out the game.
