Reserve day in ICC T20 World Cup
Since the tournament will take place in UAE, it would be nearly impossible that a match could be affected by rains. However, a stand storm might hold up a match for a moment.
But ICC still have reserve days for semifinals and final. In both the semi-finals and the final, every attempt will be made to finish the match on the planned day, with any necessary overs reductions. The match will only be completed on the reserve day if the minimum amount of overs required to constitute a match (at least 5 overs each side) cannot be bowled on the scheduled day.
