An important aspect of the semifinals stage is that while the first semifinal has a reserve day in place, the second semifinal does not.
In case either of the semifinal ends in no-result, the team with a superior performance in the 'Super 8s' stage progresses to the final. In that eventuality, South Africa will adance from the first semifinal and India from the second.
The final is scheduled for June 29 in Barbados.
