IPL 2024 final: What will happen if rain halts KKR vs SRH clash?
Chennai: As anticipation builds for the IPL 2024 final showdown between Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) at Chepauk, concerns about potential rain disruptions loom large.
With Kolkata having secured victories against Hyderabad earlier in the season, the stage is set for a riveting battle between Shreyas Iyer's KKR and Pat Cummins's SRH. Nevertheless, the weather forecast indicates a 47% chance of rain during the day and a subsequent decrease to around 32% in the evening, according to weather.com.
In the unfortunate event of a complete washout on Sunday, the Reserve Day on Monday will come into play. The BCCI aims to facilitate a full 20-over per side contest if the match is postponed, but a 5-over-per-side encounter could also be considered, with the Duckworth-Lewis system being utilized to determine the outcome.
However, if inclement weather persists, leading to no play on the Reserve Day—a scenario unprecedented in IPL history—the league standings will dictate the winner. In this scenario, Kolkata Knight Riders, having clinched the top spot in the points table, would be crowned champions, with Sunrisers Hyderabad settling for the runner-up position.
