2024 T20 World Cup weather update: Guyana weather report for June 27 for India vs England semi-final

The second semi-final of the T20 World Cup 2024 will see Team India lock horns with defending champions England at the Providence Stadium in Guyana on Thursday, June 27. The winner of this match will meet South Africa in Saturday's final.

India are unbeaten so far in this year's global tournament. They won three group matches, while their last league fixture against Canada was washed out. The Men in Blue continued their winning juggernaut by topping Group 1 in the Super 8. They defeated Afghanistan, Bangladesh, and Australia to make it to the top four.

Rohit Sharma and company will look to keep the momentum going and seek revenge for their 10-wicket defeat to England in the 2022 T20 World Cup semi-final in Australia. India are likely to field an unchanged playing XI and play an aggressive brand of cricket.

England were on the verge of getting eliminated from the group stage at one point but staged a superb comeback to qualify for the Super 8 before making it to the semi-finals as the second-best team from their group. Jos Butller and his men have adopted an ultra-aggressive approach and it will be a duel between England's batters and Indian bowlers.

With a high-profile clash on the cards, fans are expected to turn up in huge numbers at the Providence Stadium despite it being a 10:30 am fixture. The conditions seem gloomy for a full game of cricket, with heavy rainfall predicted.

According to Accuweather, the temperature will hover around 29 to 30 degrees Celsius. However, due to high humidity, the actual feeling would be around 34 degrees Celsius.

Moreover, the weather forecast suggests heavy rainfall throughout the game, meaning a start-stop encounter is expected if not a washout. It is worth noting that there is no reserve day for the second semi-final and if there is no play possible, India will qualify for the final by virtue of finishing on top of the group.
