🏏ICC T20I WC 2024: S8 - Match 50: WI vs SA @6AM IST🏏 - Page 9

After that high voltage 2nd over , rain started!!

It's a breezy shower coming sideways and it's pouring pretty hard. The groundstaff were quick to bring the covers on, the drainage is excellent here and we can have the resumption if this spell of rain stops.

22:32 Local Time, 02:32 GMT, 08:02 IST: There's another twist, rain has started to pelt down and the players are off. We need 5 overs to constitute a match, in case of a NR, South Africa will go through as group winners and West Indies will be eliminated. It's a strong shower, but the hosts will hope that it goes off soon. We do have time to extra time to make up and we'll not start losing overs straightaway.

The entire square has been covered now, and it continues to bucket down. Looks like we could be in for a delay.

We need 3 more overs for a full match to be constituted.

The entire square has been covered, they're running back to get some more sheets, this rain has come out of nowhere, just as West Indies were beginning to fight back. We need 3 more overs for a full match to be constituted.

Hope it happens somehow

10:45pm Lots of questions about what happens if this game is washed out. If that happens, South Africa will go through and will finish at the top of Group 2, with England qualifying as the second-placed side. And for what it is worth, it is still pelting down.

8:20 amUPDATE - 8.17 am IST (2.47 am GMT) - It is still pouring down in Antigua and the pitch and the squares are all firmly under covers. However, the outfield will take a lot of water given the rain but hopefully, it subsides and we can get the ground ready for play again. There is a buffer of about 90 minutes before we start losing overs, so, the question of the game getting washed out is still a fair bit away.

Thanks for the tag

All The Best to both teams
