Heavy rain is threatening to affect the semi final match between the India women’s cricket team and the Australia women’s cricket team at Dr DY Patil Sports Academy, Navi Mumbai, and has led to clear focus on ‘if the match is washed out, what will happen?’ The validity of the playing conditions clearly state a complete match should take place on the scheduled day or a reserve day in case of weather punctuated rain, otherwise each have result where the better team from the group will move on. This means for this particular fixture if no team can play 20 overs on the field or until possible conclusion after the reserve day, India moving on in the tournament is determined by whether it has a higher group standing than Australia, otherwise Australia will play on. The policy set up is that the tournament will take into account interruptions for the weather, but the knockout phases will be resolved despite the weather.
