Xtra Time Web Desk: India will take on England in the second semi-final of the T20 World Cup 2024 in Guyana on Thursday, June 27. The Asian giants are seeking revenge against Jos Buttler's side, who defeated India by 10 wickets in a one-sided semi-final in T20 World Cup 2024 in Adelaide. India are playing a fearless brand of cricket, which was evident with how they hammered Australia in their final Super 8 match. However, wet weather in Georgetown can play spoilsport and prevent a blockbuster from happening.

The weather forecast in Georgetown Guyana for the second semi-final has not been encouraging. There was overnight rain in the town and it was raining on the morning of the matchday. The outfield was soaked with water as the groundstafff did not cover the entire ground. However, the drainage at the Providence Stadium in Guyana is one of the best in the Caribbean islands.
