Afghanistan is gearing up to take on South Africa in the first semi-final match of the ongoing T20 World Cup 2024 today at the Brian Lara Cricket Academy in Tarouba.
The Rashid Khan-led Afghan team defeated Bangladesh on Tuesday, securing their first-ever spot in the semi-final round of the mega-event tournament.
Weather reports suggest that the night of June 26 will be partly cloudy, with a low temperature of 17°C and a RealFeel of 17°C. The wind will be coming from the north-northwest at 7 km/h, with gusts up to 24 km/h. There is a 3% chance of thunderstorms, and the probability of precipitation is 12%, with no expected measurable precipitation. Cloud cover will be at 28%.
A reserve day has been set aside for this highly anticipated match in Tarouba in case inclement weather leads to a washout. However, if rain continues for two consecutive days, it could disrupt the entire tournament.
According to ICC regulations for the T20 World Cup 2024, if not enough play is possible on both the scheduled and reserve days, one of the finalists—either South Africa or Afghanistan—will be determined by their group standings from the Super 8 stage.
Since South Africa topped Group 2, they will advance to the final, replacing Afghanistan, who finished second in Group 1.
