Will Rain play a game in Barbados today? This is what the weather forecast predicts

Team India will take on Afghanistan in the T20 World Cup 2024 Super 8 Group 1 match at the Kenginston Oval in Bridgetown in Barbados on Thursday, June 20.

India and Afghanistan have done well in the showpiece so far and remained undefeated in the group stages. The Men in Blue finished the first round by topping Group A with three straight wins against Ireland, Pakistan and the USA and one without a result against Canada due to rain.

Afghanistan, on the other hand, was one of the best teams to have played in the group stage. They first beat Uganda in their opening match before suffering a shock defeat to New Zealand. Afghanistan secured their Super 8 after winning against Papua New Guinea. However, Rashid Khan’s leadership failed to make it 4 for 4 as they lost to West Indies in their final group stage match.

As India and Afghanistan face off in their first Super 8 match, the question arises whether rain or bad weather in Barbados will interrupt the match. The weather in Barbados is a bit unpredictable. The group stage between England and Scotland ended due to rain in Barbados.
