The IPL 2023 Final between Gujarat Titans and Chennai Super Kings will be decided on a ‘Reserve Day’ after rain washed out play on Sunday in Ahmedabad.
Then final of the Indian Premier League (IPL) has been pushed to a ‘Reserve Day’ for the first-time ever in its 16-year history. The IPL 2023 Final, which was scheduled to start on Sunday has been postponed to the ‘reserve day’ on Monday due to incessant rain at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.
Even the toss for the IPL 2023 Final could not take place as a massive hail and thunderstorm hit Ahmedabad on Sunday evening. Now the toss is supposed to take place as scheduled on 7pm on Monday with all other conditions for the game still applicable should rain also affect the match on Monday.
According to the IPL Playing Condition, the Final match has to start by 9.35pm for a full 20-overs-a-side to be played. The cut-off time for a five-over shootout is 12.06am. If the conditions don’t allow even that, the teams will play a ‘Super Over’ to determine the winner.
If that is also not possible, as per last year’s playing conditions, then defending champions Gujarat Titans will be declared winners by virtue of having finished higher on the points table in the league stage ahead of MS Dhoni-led Chennai Super Kings.
The BCCI announced that ticket-holder for Sunday’s final will be able to enter the stadium on Monday as well with the same physical tickets. “Fans who had their tickets for the TATA IPL Final on May 28th will now be able to enter the stadium with their existing physical tickets on May 29th,” the BCCI said in a statement.
“The BCCI would like to thank the fans present tonight for their patience and support. We request them to come in big numbers to support their favourite IPL teams at the grand finale of the TATA IPL 2023 at the Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad,” the statement added.
