Today, Chennai Super Kings and Gujarat Titans will meet in IPL 2023 title match in Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad. MS Dhoni-led side is going to play its 10th Final in the league’s history while Hardik Pandya and co. are eying their 2nd trophy in consecutive seasons. The stage is set but rain gods may have different plans for today. The weather report for IPL 2023 Final suggests that rain may play a spoilsport in CSK vs GT clash. Meanwhile, fans have a question: If rain washes the match, then who will lift the trophy? Here you can find the answer to this question.
Rain is predicted during IPL 2023 Final
According to the AccuWeather report, showers are expected between 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM. At 7:00 PM, there are 49% chances of rain which will increase to 64% as the match will progress.
However, as per Indian Metrological Department, there might not be a lot of rainfall on Sunday. But the weather will remain cloudy and rain is expected, even if it is a little. So, we may see rain interrupting IPL 2023 Final before or during the match.
The Qualifier 2 match between GT and MI was also delayed for half an hour due to rain. However, after the toss, the rain didn’t interrupt the game.
Who will win IPL 2023 Final if rain washes the match
But what if the rain gets so heavy that the CSK vs GT clash sees no result on Sunday? Who will win IPL 2023 Final then? The good news for the fans is there is a reserve day for IPL Final.
- The match can be delayed up to 12:26 AM for a 5-over oer side match.
- But if the match sees no result on May 28 then it will go to the reserve day on May 29.
- On reserve day, the match will start from where it stops on May 28.
- If the toss takes place on May 28 and after which rain washes the day and not a single ball gets bowled. Then on May 29, the coin will be flipped again.
- If rain plays spoilsport on reserve day as well then it will be decided with a Super Over. 1:20 AM (May 30) will be the deadline to play a Super Over.
- But if Super Over is also not possible then Gujarat Titans will be named winner of IPL 2023 as they topped the league stage.Â
