The stage is set for the high-voltage clash in Qualifier 2 of Indian Premier League (IPaL) 2025 between Punjab Kings (PBKS) and Mumbai Indians (MI) at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. The match will be played on Sunday (June 1).

The winner of this match decided which team will take on RCB in IPL 2025 Final on June 3.

While fans eagerly await the action, weather forecasts have raised concerns. So, the big question is: What happens if the match is cancelled due to rain?

In case Qualifier 2 is abandoned due to rain on the scheduled day, the team that finished higher in the league stage standings will automatically advance to the final.

In this scenario, Punjab Kings have a clear advantage. Having finished in the top two during the league phase, PBKS secured their spot in Qualifier 1, while Mumbai Indians reached Qualifier 2 by winning the Eliminator.

So, if rain prevents a result, PBKS will advance to the IPL 2025 final based on their superior league performance.

Yes, IPL playoffs do have a reserve day, but only for the final match, not for Qualifier 1, Qualifier 2, or the Eliminator. So in Qualifier 2, if the weather doesn't permit play and a Super Over isn't possible, the team placed higher on the points table will go through.

If Qualifier 2 between PBKS and MI gets washed out without a ball being bowled - Punjab Kings will qualify for the final, thanks to their better league stage finish.

It's now a waiting game between cricket and the clouds - and Punjab may just win without taking the field.
