Which team will win if IND vs SA final is canceled due to rain..!?
india and south africa are set to clash in the final of the 2024 t20 world cup series. The match will be played on saturday (today) starting at 8 PM IST. The weather report has released that there is a possibility of rain during this match. How will the match be conducted in case of rain according to the rules laid down by the international Cricket Council and if the match is abandoned which team will be declared the winner? Let's see about that.
The final will be played at the Bridgetown Stadium in Barbados. It is noteworthy that both india and south africa have advanced to the final without losing any match in this world cup series. So, there are high expectations for this final. However, with the possibility of rain during the final, will the match go ahead as planned? The question has also arisen.There is a reserve day for this India-South Africa final. Therefore, if the tournament cannot be completed on saturday, the tournament will continue on Sunday. An extra time of around 190 minutes will be allowed to complete the match on Saturday. Therefore, there is a possibility that this match will be played partly or partly in the midst of rain as there is more time.
According to international Cricket Council rules, when both teams have batted for at least ten overs, it is considered a match and the result of the match can be declared. Therefore, if the match is planned to be shortened due to rain, the match should be played in such a way that at least both teams bat for 10 overs. In this case, if the match cannot be held on saturday or if only half of the match is held on saturday then the remaining match or the whole match will continue to be held on Sunday.
If the match is not completed due to rain on Sunday, the reserve day, the match will be declared abandoned. It is noteworthy that in that situation both teams will be declared joint winners of the World Cup. So far, the two teams have shared the trophy together in only one such series conducted by the international Cricket Council. It happened in the 2002 Champions Trophy series. Then it was announced that the match was abandoned due to rain in the final match. Hence, india and Sri Lanka, who had progressed to the finals, shared the Champions Trophy.
