In the Eliminator at the same venue in Chennai, Mumbai Indians defeated Lucknow Super Giants to get one step closer to the final as they booked a Qualifier 2 berth against GT. But MI were ousted by GT, who won the Qualifier 2 to reach the final.

The weather has played spoilsport in only one match and had an impact on one other match in the league stage. Plus, a few matches saw a delay in start including the Qualifier 2 at the Narendra Modi Stadium. But there was a full match despite a delayed start.

Most parts of the country have witnessed rain over the last few days and that could affect the crucial match in IPL 2023. As it stands though, the forecast says there is clear weather in Ahmedabad on May 28. But what happens if it rains and there is no play or a truncated match or the match is tied?

Is there a reserve day for IPL 2023 final?

There was a reserve day for the final in 2022, but there is no reserve day for IPL 2023 final as per the playoff schedule released by BCCI. So, the IPL 2023 Final winner will be decided on the scheduled match day (Sunday, May 28).

Is there extra cut off time to finish the match in case of delay?

Yes, there is an additional 120 minutes or 2 hours available to complete the match. So, the cut off time for the IPL 2023 final if it starts at 7:30 PM IST, will be 11.56 AM IST (May 28, 2023) for 5 overs per side game, and if it’s an 8 PM IST start, the cut off time is 12:26 AM IST (May 29, 2023).

Unless the winner is determined by DLS, the side which has scored in its one innings a total of runs in excess of that scored by the opposing side in its one completed innings shall win the match.

A result can be achieved only if both teams have had the opportunity of batting for at least 5 overs, unless one team has been all out in less than 5 overs or unless the team batting second scores enough runs to win in less than 5 overs.

Meaning, if both teams have not had an opportunity of batting for a minimum of 5 overs, the match will be declared a No Result. If the Final, is tied, or there is no result, the following shall apply:

The relevant teams shall compete in a Super Over and if necessary further Super Overs to determine which team is the winner of the match in question; and
