Today, the IPL 2023 title match between the Chennai Super Kings and the Gujarat Titans will take place at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. The Chennai Super Kings, led by MS Dhoni, will be competing in their 10th final in the history of the league, while Hardik Pandya and his team are aiming to win their second consecutive trophy.
The stage is set for an exciting clash, but the weather forecast suggests that rain may interfere with the CSK vs. GT match. Fans are left wondering what will happen if the match is washed out by rain and who will be crowned the champions.
According to the AccuWeather report, there is a possibility of showers between 7:00 PM and 9:00 PM. At 7:00 PM, there is a 49% chance of rain, which increases to 64% as the match progresses.
However, the Indian Meteorological Department predicts that there may not be heavy rainfall on Sunday, but the weather will remain cloudy, with the chance of some light rain. Therefore, it is possible that rain could interrupt the IPL 2023 Final either before or during the match.
During the Qualifier 2 match between the Gujarat Titans and the Mumbai Indians, there was a half-hour delay due to rain. However, once the toss took place, the rain did not disrupt the game.
But what if the rain becomes so heavy that the CSK vs. GT match ends with no result on Sunday? In such a scenario, the good news for the fans is that there is a reserve day scheduled for the IPL Final.
- The match can be delayed until 12:26 AM for a 5-over per side match to take place.
- If the match remains incomplete on May 28, it will resume from where it stopped on the reserve day, May 29.
- If the toss takes place on May 28 and rain prevents any play from happening, then on May 29, the coin will be flipped again to determine the winner.
- If rain continues to disrupt the match on the reserve day as well, a Super Over will be played to decide the winner. The deadline for the Super Over will be 1:20 AM on May 30.
- However, if a Super Over is not possible, then the Gujarat Titans will be declared the winners of IPL 2023, as they finished at the top of the league stage.
