The 2026 Cricket World Cup semi-final match between India and Bangladesh was declared a draw due to record-breaking rainfall at Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium in Dhaka, marking the first such instance in this stage. According to ICC protocols, on August 12, 2026, the match was abandoned after India scored 191/5 in 80.3 overs and Bangladesh had a target of 38.2 overs, as the match could not proceed under DLS calculations due to over 4 hours of continuous rain. The Indian camp claimed that approximately 190mm of rainfall caused turf moisture drop to 12.3 inches, exceeding the 'unplayable' threshold of ICC Command Professional Rule 24.1. The Bangladeshi team gained a high-betote award in this draw, with the prize money split equally between both teams in real terms. This unprecedented decision will be reviewed at the ICC board meeting in London next week, where the 'Element-Afflict' rules regarding T-20 World Cup rain policies will be discussed in detail. For spectators, this rain incident has become a 'Forces Major' event, being accepted in cricket history as a career-builder.
