After humbling their opponents in the semi-finals, India and South Africa will now lock horns in the summit clash of the ongoing T20 World Cup in Bridgetown, Barbados, Saturday, June 29.
While the Proteas crushed high-flying Afghanistan in the first semi-final, India overpowered defending champions England in a match delayed by rain and a wet outfield in the second semifinal in Guyana.
Both teams remain unbeaten in the tournament, but rain is expected to play its part in the final, as per the weather forecast for the day.
However, there is a reserve day in place for the title game, but the forecast remains grim on that day as well. If the final match gets washed out in Barbados, both India and South Africa will be declared joint winners of the tournament.
The chances of rain remain persistent in the afternoon with 99% cloud cover. The weather prediction for the reserve day (June 30) is also gloomy, with a forecast of rain and thunderstorms in the afternoon.
“Mostly cloudy and humid; breezy in the morning, then occasional rain and a thunderstorm in the afternoon,” reads Sunday’s weather forecast for Bridgetown.
