Why was 'reserve day' not kept for the semi-final between England and India?
Prior to the World Cup, it was agreed that the Indian team's match would take place in Guyana should it advance to the semifinals.
Because they are ranked #1 in the Super Eight stage, India will advance to the final if the England vs. India match is rained out.
However, the ICC has not provided a formal justification for not holding a reserve day for the second semi-final.
It should be mentioned that Afghanistan vs. South Africa in the first semi-final has also been extended by 60 minutes.

A match will be played on the reserve day, which is the following day, if it rains on the day of the first semi-final. Otherwise, an attempt will be made to finish the match that day.
Additionally, 190 extra minutes have been added to the reserve day to avoid weather interfering with the contest.
The South African team will advance to the final by winning the Super Eight stage if the rain cancels the semi-final between them and Afghanistan.
