The T20 World Cup 2024 final between India and South Africa is scheduled to be played on Saturday, June 29 in Bridgetown, Barbados. However, there is a significant risk of rain disrupting the match.According to the reports:
- If rain interrupts play or there is a delay during
the match, the game can be completed using an additional 190 minutes. A
minimum of 10 overs must be bowled to the side batting second for the
match to constitute a valid result, unless a result is achieved earlier.
- If both teams do not get a chance to play a minimum
of 10 overs each, then the match will be moved to the reserve day on
Sunday, June 30.
- The reserve day will be used to complete the match
from where it left off on the scheduled day. Efforts will be made to
complete the match with reduced overs if necessary.
- If the reserve day is also washed out and no result
is possible, then as per ICC playing conditions, the teams will compete in
a Super Over to determine the winner. However, if the Super Over cannot
take place, the match will be declared a no result and both India and
South Africa will be declared joint winners of the T20 World Cup 2024.
In summary, the ICC has made
provisions for a reserve day and a Super Over to ensure a result is achieved.
But if all options are exhausted due to persistent rain, the trophy will be
shared between the two finalists, India and South Africa.
