IPL Final: The second finalist of the 17th season of the Indian Premier League has also been found. On Friday, in the second qualifier of the tournament, Sunrisers Hyderabad defeated Rajasthan Royals (SRH vs RR) by 36 runs and got a ticket to the final. Earlier on Tuesday, Kolkata Knight Riders defeated Hyderabad by 8 wickets to enter the final. Now the final match will also be played between these two teams on Sunday, May 26 at the Chepauk ground. However, if rain interrupts this match, then who will be the winner of the title? Let us explain the whole equation to you.

IPL Final: Will rain cause disruption?

In IPL 2024, 3 matches of the league stage have been washed out due to rain. In such a situation, it cannot be denied that the clouds of rain are hovering over the final, albeit less. In such a situation, if the match is not played, then how will the winner be decided?

For this, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has made full preparations. They have kept a reserve day for the final match. If the match cannot be completed on May 26, then the remaining match will be played on May 27. However, the cut-off time has been extended by 2 hours beyond the scheduled time to complete the match in a single day. It is worth noting that we saw a similar scene in the final of IPL 2023 as well.

IPL Final: What if the match is not played even on the reserve day?

If the match cannot be completed even on the reserve day in the final of IPL 2024, then for this also BCCI has told the method of choosing the champion. If the title match is canceled due to rain, then the team at the top of the points table of the league stage will be declared the winner.

IPL Final: KKR will get the trophy

If the IPL 2024 final is completely washed out due to rain, then Kolkata Knight Riders will be declared the winner as they topped the points table after the league stage ended. KKR won 9 out of 14 matches in the league stage this season, while they lost 3. At the same time, their last 2 matches were canceled due to rain.

On the other hand, Sunrisers Hyderabad finished second in the points table. They won 8 out of 14 matches and lost 5, while 1 of their matches was also cancelled due to rain.
