T20 World Cup 2026 Semifinal Rules Explained: Is There a Reserve Day If Rain Washes Out India vs England in Mumbai?

The ICC Men’s T20 World Cup is heading into its final stage, with the semi-finals set to begin on Wednesday. Defending champions India booked their spot after a superb run chase against the West Indies in the Super Eights. They will now face two-time winners England, while unbeaten South Africa takes on New Zealand in the other semi-final.

With rain having already affected a few matches in the tournament, fans are concerned about possible disruptions during the knockouts. To avoid unfair eliminations, the ICC has scheduled reserve days for both semi-finals and the final.
