All Super 8 matches are affected by rain..!?

The Super 8 round, a key stage of the 2024 T20 World Cup series, kicks off in two days. In this situation, it has been reported that most of the matches in the Super 8 round will be affected by rain. The weather forecast has revealed that except the India-Afghanistan match to be held on June 20, all other matches are likely to be affected by rain. The Super 8 round matches will be held at four locations in the West Indies. The match between India and Afghanistan will be held at the Barbados Stadium. There is a 10 to 15 percent chance of rain during the match. During other matches in the stadium, the chance of rain is 40 to 55 percent. There is a high chance of rain in the upcoming matches in St. Lucia, especially the match between India and Australia. Perhaps these two big teams will suffer greatly if the match is abandoned. Then there is a 52 percent chance of rain at St. Vincent’s Stadium. A match between Australia and Afghanistan will be held here. According to the weather forecast, there is a 20 percent chance of rain at the Antigua Stadium ahead of the India-Bangladesh match. Besides India’s matches, rain also occurs in other teams’ matches. Nearly 80 percent of the matches in the Super 8 round will experience some degree of rain.
After this, the International Cricket Council, which is conducting the series, is under intense pressure. Several matches in the group stage were canceled due to rain. Only the England-Namibia match was affected by rain and later overs were marked and played successfully. In all other matches, it rained before the match and the matches were abandoned due to standing water on the pitch, even though it did not rain during the match. That’s how bad the stadiums are in terms of maintenance and development. Many have pointed this out. Especially when it rains, they only cover the field with a cover. Rainwater accumulates in the surrounding areas. It can also be covered with a cover to prevent rainwater from accumulating. But pitches in the US and West Indies still don’t have the money to buy more covers. The International Cricket Council should help get more coverage for those stadiums by predicting the impact of rain in advance. But they didn’t. Many people criticize by pointing this out. The Indian team will be empty if Jaiswal has to play in a hurry. The former player warned Rohit Sharma that if the matches are canceled due to rain in the Super 8 round, both teams will get one point. If such a situation arises, big teams like India, Australia, England and South Africa will be seriously affected. The main teams therefore lose the chance to advance to the semi-finals. Currently, the All cricket council has lost its request to purchase more covers and cover the ground to protect the ground from rain.
