South Africa and Afghanistan will lock horns in the first semifinal of the T20 World Cup 2024 at Brian Lara Stadium in Trinidad on June 27 at 6:00 AM IST. South Africa have been outstanding in the tournament and reached the semifinal undefeated. Afghanistan on the other hand defeated tournament favourites Australia and Bangladesh to reach the top 4. Neither Afghanistan nor South Africa have played any World Cup final thus one of the teams is certain to create history.

Meanwhile, the T20 World Cup has been marred by rain and there are concerns if the rain could play spoilsport during the game. Fans can breathe a sigh of relief as the weather is unlikely to cause any hindrance in the all-important clash. Even though there is a slight chance of rain, it won't have any major impact on the game. As per AccuWeather, there is rain predicted in the morning but the conditions are expected to be dry during the match, with zero percent chance of rain at 8:00 PM local time, about half an hour before the start of play. However, the weather in this part of the world can be unpredictable.

Meanwhile, in case it rains during the game, there is a reserve day in place for the semifinal. The reserve day has only been allocated to the first semifinal and there is no extra day for the second semifinal between India and England. This is because there is only a day's gap between the second semifinal and the summit clash. Meanwhile, if the match gets called off due to bad weather, even though the possibility of the same is remote, South Africa will qualify for the final on account of finishing higher in the Super 8 points table.
