Cricket: The Women's Cricket Thread

o, as it stands the semifinal line-ups - India v England, semifinal 1 and South Africa v Australia, semifinal 2. Both games are scheduled on the same day (Thursday, March 5) and it is again in Sydney (SCG) where there is rain prediction for the entire day. There are no reserve days as well

Bloody hell. I really hope we don't go to a five-over shootout. Full rainout or full twenty overs please.
 


England are set to face India in the last four in Sydney at 04:00 GMT.

However, Tropical Storm Esther is expected to bring rain for most of Thursday.

With no reserve day in place for the semi-finals, India will progress if no result is possible as they won Group A whereas England came second in Group B.

"It's going to get much wetter," BBC Weather's lead presenter Simon King said. "Rain is expected to fall for most of Thursday with the chance of the odd thunderstorm mixed in.

"The first semi-final featuring England is definitely under threat for being called off without a ball being bowled."

Defending champions Australia meet South Africa in the second semi-final at 08:00 GMT and the hosts would face the same fate as England in the event of a no result because they were runners-up in Group A.

"With the rain eventually clearing away later on Thursday, there's a very small chance of some drier weather for the second semi-final but it may be too late in the day," King added.
 
Interesting. So if both matches are rained out. We will meet India in the final on Sunday. :unsure:
 
Oh dear, that would really suck if both semis are washed out. Can’t believe there isn’t a reserve day for semis/final? Ridiculous...
 
7.05pm Toss South Africa have won the toss and will bowl first.

Dane van Niekerk: "The rain around we want to know exactly what we need to do in a semi-final. But having said that we are going up against the number one team in the world today."

6.58pm Toss at 7.05pm and a 7.20pm start. No overs lost. Plans for a full game.


Kapp is out, which is not good...
