According to the rules laid out by the ICC for the tournament, there must be at least a 20 overs match with both sides playing 10 overs each.There are no reserve days for the semi-finals so if either or both the matches are washed out, India and South Africa will qualify for Sunday's final at the Melbourne Cricket Ground having finished on top of their respective groups.
The weather forecast for Sydney is not very promising with large clouds looming large over the venue and high possibilities of rain causing interruption in the match. If rain causes abandonment of the semifinals, then India will move into the finals courtesy being Group A Winners

Background
New Delhi: India secured a berth in the finals after the semis against England got washed out in Sydney. India will now take on the winner of the second semifinal scheduled to be played between South Africa and Australia. The finals will take place at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on March 8
While India made it to the last four after securing pole position in Group A with four straight wins, England on the other hand made it to the semifinals of the back of ending as the runner-up in Group B. When the two teams last met the World Cup in 2018 , England beat India in the semifinals.
The sub continent giants would look to overturn their poor record against England which has seen them losing five out of five games in the past editions at the showpiece event. However, in the recent tri-series before the World Cup, India had managed to defeat England and thus would want to take confidence from that win in Thursday's game.
