What Happens if Rain Washes Away Game? 

First of all, there is no Reserve Day for a Super 8 game. So in case a game cannot be completed on the scheduled day of the match, then that is it. In case, the Super 8 clash at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata is washed away - what happens - who goes through? Both the sides have 2 points from 2 matches with West Indies slightly ahead on Net Run Rate (NRR). And India losing to South Africa in an embarrassing fashion did no good to their NRR. In case the game does ot complete due to rain or some other factor - West Indies would go through to the final four based on a superior NRR. 

There is only one semi-final spot left. The three semi-finalists are South Africa, England, New Zealand and tonight we would have the fourth semi-finalist.
