The World Cup 2019 semifinal between India and New Zealand was brought to a halt after a heavy drizzle lashed Old Trafford at the fag end of the Kiwi innings on Tuesday. New Zealand was 211/5 after 46.1 overs.

In case New Zealand doesn't bat again, India's target in:

46 overs will be 237

40 overs will be 223

35 overs will be 209

30 overs will be 192

25 overs will be 172

20 overs will be 148

But what happens if no play is possible on the reserve day as well? Then it comes down to which team finished higher on the points table in the league stage. So, in the India-New Zealand semi-final, if there’s no play possible on the reserve day also, then India will qualify for the final as they topped the table, while New Zealand finished fourth.

If the final also is a rain-affected encounter and no play is possible on a reserved day as well, then the trophy will be shared by the two finalists.

If any of the three knockouts – the two semis or the final – ends in a tie, then the result will be decided via a Super Over.

If the rains don't stop till 8.30 pm IST, then the overs will start getting reduced. For a T20 game, the cut-off time is 10.10 pm IST. Post that we shall have the game being continued tomorrow.
