Ind vs WI match will be like quarter final, if it gets washed out in rain then know who will get the ticket for semi final?

New Delhi. Super 8 matches are being played in the T20 World Cup 2026. Only two matches of Group 1 are left, one of which is South Africa vs Zimbabwe, while the other is India vs West Indies match. The first match will not affect the semi-finals, but the second match is in a way a virtual quarter final. The team that wins the India vs West Indies Super 8 match will get the ticket for the semi-finals. However, one worry is troubling the Indian fans that will the rain spoil the game? If the match is washed out due to rain, then which team will go to the semi-finals? You are going to get the answers to these questions in this story.

The India vs West Indies Super 8 match is to be held on March 1. This important match of the tournament will be played from 7 pm onwards. Team India and West Indies have won one match each, while both have lost to South Africa. Now neither Team India nor West Indies need to improve the net run rate to reach the semi-finals, because now the equation is simple and clear that whichever team wins this match will get the ticket for the semi-finals. No matter how big or small the victory is, only victory will matter.

Now the second question is whether there is a shadow of rain on this match, then the answer is – no. If we rely on the reports of BBC Weather and Accuweather at the time of the match, there is not even a single percent forecast of rain. If we go by the reports, the match will be completed because it is expected to rain between the time the match starts and when it is time to end the match. In such a situation, fans do not need to panic.

However, if the force of nature comes and rain disrupts the match and the match is not completed due to rain, then it will not be good for Team India. The reason behind this is – Net Run Rate, because if India and West Indies get one point each due to rain, then both the teams will have 3 points each and then on the basis of Net Run Rate, West Indies will get the ticket for the semi-finals, because right now the Net Run Rate of West Indies is much better than India. Team India’s net run rate after 2 matches is -0.100 with 2 points, while West Indies’ net run rate after 2 points is +1.791.
