The 2nd semi-final of the 2023 World Cup between Australia and South Africa at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata is likely to be a damp squib. The clash will take place on Thursday (November 16th), but there is rain forecast in the 'City of Joy', which threatens to play spoilsport. However, it is interesting to know what happens if the all-important fixture gets washed out.
According to Accuweather, the weather is likely to be cloudy and there 25% chances of precipitation on Thursday afternoon, with the temperature hovering at 29 degrees. The chances of precipitation is also 25% in the evening, with the weather remaining hazy.

While both Proteas and Australia registered 7 wins each, the former's net run-rate is far superior.
