The India vs Bangladesh U19 World Cup match faces a significant rain threat. The weather in Bulawayo is not great, and there is rain predicted throughout the day.
According to AccuWeather, there is a consistent 34 percent chance of rain for the entire duration of the game. As of now, the rain is away, but the chances of precipitation can’t be ruled out later in the game. Both teams need to play at least 20 overs to complete a game.
The drainage facilities in Bulawayo are not the best in the world, and heavy rain could dent the chances of a completed game. If the match is washed out, India and Bangladesh will share points. India had defeated the USA in the first game; the game against India is Bangladesh’s first in the tournament.
What Will Happen If India Vs Bangladesh Match Is Washed Out?
India sit comfortably at the top of Group A with two points and a run rate of 3.144. If the game is washed out, the team will reach three points and retain the top position. Only the top two teams will qualify for the Super 8s. India will have one game left against New Zealand, and a win will take India to the Super 8s. If India lose against New Zealand, they’ll be stuck at three points, and things could get tricky.
New Zealand are expected to beat the USA as well, so a win over India and a win over the USA will seal their Super 8 qualification. Bangladesh should also beat the USA, and if they pull off a win over New Zealand as well, they’ll reach five points and qualify with New Zealand, and India will be stuck at three points. Thus, a win over New Zealand is a must for the Indian team.
