The IPL 2023 final match between Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Gujarat Titans (GT) was abandoned due to rain and will be held on Monday as a reserve day. As it is a significant match, the umpires have decided to allocate a reserve day. The match was unable to commence on time due to prolonged rain, leading the umpires to call it off.
The match will begin on time.
The final match between Chennai and Gujarat will start at 7:30 pm on Monday. The toss for the match will take place at 7 o’clock. According to the Meteorological Department, there is a 10% chance of rain even today. There is great enthusiasm among cricket fans for this highly anticipated match. The spectators hope that the match will be completed.
What are the rules for the reserve day?
In the game of cricket, the reserve day is not frequently utilised, but it is often employed in significant matches. This measure is implemented when a major match is interrupted due to rain or any other reason. To ensure the completion of these important matches, the umpires designate a day called the reserve day.
If rain continues to hinder the match today, how will the winner be determined?
The final match on Sunday was interrupted due to rain. Therefore, a reserve day has been scheduled for the final match between Chennai Super Kings and Gujarat Titans. However, if no overs are bowled even on the reserve day due to rain, both teams will be declared joint winners, and they will share the trophy. There is no alternative in such a scenario.
