India and South Africa will lock horns in the T20 World Cup 2024 final at the Kensington Oval, Barbados, on Saturday and heavy rain is expected in the city.

The rain has affected a number of matches in the ongoing T20 World Cup in the West Indies as well as the United States as we saw matches like Ireland vs the USA (Florida), Sri Lanka vs Nepal (Florida) and England vs Scotland (Barbados) getting washed out while England vs Namibia (Antigua and Barbuda) was reduced to 10 overs per side.

The semi-finals between India and England (Guyana) as well as Afghanistan and South Africa (Trinidad and Tobago) were affected by rain and once again, we might see another match getting interrupted as heavy rain is expected in Barbados on Saturday, according to The Weather Channel.

The match will begin at 10:30am local time and rain is predicted from early morning till evening. A reserve day has been set on Sunday with 190 additional minutes for both days.

The official match time is 10:30am to 1:20pm local time but it could continue till 4:50pm taking weather conditions into consideration.
