The group stages are over and the World Cup is introducing a reserve day<\/em> for all the semi-final and final matches<\/h3>\n

During the group stages the match was usually abandoned in the event of a wash out, although for the knockout matches the International Cricket Council has kept a reserve day. Thus, if the match cannot be completed today due to the rain the two competing teams will resume the game on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

According to the British MET department, light showers of rain and drizzles are predicted for the afternoon for today’s match – whereas heavy rain is being expected from mid-afternoon onwards.<\/p>\n
