The semifinal of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 between India and New Zealand in Manchester will resume on the reserve day after being delayed due to rain.

The game between India and New Zealand will continue on Wednesday where New Zealand will complete their 50-over innings and India will then complete their 50-over innings if the weather is ideal.

India is equired to bat for at least 20 overs for the match to be completed. If no play is possible on the reserve day , then India would qualify for the final due as they had finished on top of the points table in the league phasea, ahead of fourth-placed New Zealand.

In the event of poor weather, steps will be taken to be able to finish the match that day.

"If there is still no result on the scheduled match day, play will continue on the Reserve Day, using the same start time and hours of play as the scheduled match day.

"The reserve day will be a continuation not a restart, assuming play commenced on the original match day, meaning the score from the original match day will be carried through to the reserve day," the BCCI said in a series of tweets.
