by time news
The 8th season of T20 World Cup (T20 World Cup 2022) has reached the knockout round. A total of 16 teams participated in the tournament. The semi-finals and finals are now underway. The first semi-final between Pakistan and New Zealand (PAK vs NZ) will be held in Sydney on November 9. In the second semi-final, India will face England on November 10 in Adelaide. Hosts and defending champions Australia failed to progress beyond the Super-12. ICC has released the rules for the knockout round of the tournament. In such a situation, if the semi-final match is not played due to rain, let’s see which team has the advantage.

ICC has reserved the day for both semi-final and final. The semi-final will be held from November 9. If play is stopped due to rain, play on the second day will resume from where it was stopped. For example, if a team scores 50 runs for 2 wickets in 7 overs on the first day, the second day’s play will start from here. If the match cannot be completed even on the second day due to rain, the team topping the points table will qualify for the final. In such a scenario, India and New Zealand will benefit. New Zealand team is at the top of Group-1 with 7 points and India is at the top of Group-2 with 8 points.

T20 World Cup has never been won jointly in history.

The total prize money of the T20 World Cup will be 45 crores. 13 crores for the champion team and 6.5 crores for the runner up team. Rs 3.26 crore will be given to the losing team in the semi-finals and Rs 57 lakh to the teams who are eliminated in the Super-12 round. This time there were many big failures in the competition.
