Semi-final to be held Thursday if rain continues MOHALI: International Cricket Council (ICC) has announced that the second semi-final between India and Pakistan would be held on Thursday if it could not be played on Wednesday due to rain.
Torrential rains and thunderstorm lashed Mohali Tuesday night, a day before the World Cup semi-final showdown between arch rivals India and Pakistan at the Punjab Cricket Association stadium
What if it rains tomorrow?
Even though the Met department says it is unlikely, if tomorrow's match is rained out, then there is a reserve day - on Thursday when the match can be played. But, if Thursday is also washed out by rain, then the rule states, "If following a tie, weather conditions prevent the one over eliminator from being completed, or if the match is a no result, then the team that finished in the higher position in the Group stage shall proceed to the final."
So, if the weather gods are really unkind, it will be heartbreak for India, and Pakistan will make the finals.
