India vs South Africa Match Regulations and Rain Interruption
To ensure a fair result, the International Cricket Council (ICC) has set specific guidelines for rain-affected matches. If rain interrupts the game, both teams must play a minimum of 10 overs each for the match to be considered valid. If the match cannot reach this minimum requirement, it will continue on the reserve day, scheduled for June 30.
For the final, an additional 3 hours and 10 minutes of extra time has been allocated to accommodate any interruptions. The primary goal is to complete the match on June 29, even if it means reducing the number of overs. If the rain persists and prevents the completion of the required overs, the reserve day will be utilized to resume the match from where it left off.

Scenario Planning for Rain
If the match starts on June 29 and a team has played less than 10 overs before rain interrupts, the game will resume the next day as a full 20-over match. However, if more than 10 overs have been played and the rain stops play, the overs may be shortened based on the time remaining. For instance, if one team plays 9 overs on the scheduled day, and the match resumes with 17 overs due to rain, play will continue from this point on the reserve day.
If rain affects both the scheduled day and the reserve day, the match’s overs will be further reduced to fit the available playing time. The aim is to have a definitive result within the provided timeframe, ensuring a fair and conclusive end to the tournament.
With the weather playing a crucial role, the T20 World Cup 2024 final between India and South Africa promises to be an unpredictable and thrilling contest. Cricket fans around the world will be hoping for clear skies to witness a memorable showdown. Regardless of the weather, the ICC’s regulations ensure that every effort will be made to complete the match and crown a deserving champion.
