This match will start at 7 pm (Indian time) at the historic Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. The news of relief for cricket fans is that the weather is likely to remain completely clear during the match.
How will the weather be in Mumbai?
According to the forecast of the Meteorological Department, the sky will be completely clear in Mumbai on March 5 and the probability of rain is said to be zero percent. The maximum temperature during the day can go up to around 33 degrees Celsius, while the temperature at night is expected to be around 25 degrees Celsius. Humidity level will be between 35 to 51 percent. This means that players will not face any kind of weather related problem.
The pitch of Wankhede Stadium is generally considered helpful for batsmen. Due to clear weather, dew can also play an important role, due to which the team winning the toss can decide to bowl first.
What will happen if it rains?
Although there is no possibility of rain at present, ICC has kept a reserve day as a precaution. If for some reason the match cannot be completed on March 5, then the match will be played on Reserve Day on March 6 (Friday).
But if for some reason both the semi-finals and the reserve day get washed out due to rain, then as per the rules the England team will directly reach the final. The reason for this is that England stood first in its group in the Super-8 stage, while India stood second.
Eyes set on the final
The winner of this match will face the final on March 8. In such a situation, this match is very important for both the teams. India is facing England in the T20 World Cup semi-finals for the third consecutive time, due to which the excitement of the match has increased even more.
