India is undefeated so far. After winning three matches in the group stage, they also defeated Afghanistan in the Super 8. This time, the fight is against Bangladesh. But there is a chance of rain during that match. Which could make India’s path to the semi-finals difficult.
The India vs. Canada match in Florida was canceled due to rain. There was no rain in the Super 8 match against Afghanistan. There is a 46 percent chance of rain as of 10 a.m. local time in Antigua on Saturday. The India-Bangladesh match starts at 10.30 am, according to that country’s time. There is a 51 percent chance of rain at 11 a.m. According to AccuWeather, there is a 47 percent chance of rain at 12 o’clock. It is also reported that the sky will remain cloudy throughout the day.
All the teams in India’s group played one match each. Australia and India won their respective matches. Afghanistan and Bangladesh are yet to win. If the India-Bangladesh match is abandoned due to rain on Saturday, then both teams will get one point each. In that case, India will have three points in two matches. The Australia match is in hand. On the other hand, Bangladesh will play against Afghanistan with one point.
In this situation, if Afghanistan loses against Australia on Sunday morning, there is no way Rashid Khan will go to the semi-finals. Although India won on Saturday, the pressure is on Afghanistan. They have to win their match on Sunday. If not, Rashid will have to leave Super 8.
