Cricket enthusiasts are eagerly awaiting the rescheduled IPL 2023 Final between Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Gujarat Titans (GT). However, the weather forecast brings a sense of concern as rain threatens to disrupt the match once again on the reserve day.
The persistent rain that affected the initial match on Sunday continues to cast a shadow of uncertainty over the final showdown. The organizers and players are closely monitoring the weather conditions in the hopes of a clear window to showcase their skills on the field.
While fans hold their breath and hope for a thrilling encounter, there is a sense of anticipation mixed with anxiety as they wait to see if the rain gods will be kind enough to allow the match to unfold without further interruptions.
Stay tuned for live score updates as the match day progresses. The cricketing world eagerly awaits the outcome of this highly anticipated clash between CSK and GT.
What will happen if rain washes out reserve day as well?
In the event that the reserve day is also affected by rain and becomes unplayable, the authorities have contingency plans in place to determine a result for the IPL 2023 Final between CSK and GT.
If the weather conditions persist and only a limited amount of play is possible, a shortened match of 5 overs per side may be considered to determine a winner. This ensures that both teams have a fair chance to showcase their skills within the limited time available.

In the rare scenario where even a 5-over match cannot be accommodated, a Super Over may be conducted. The Super Over is a thrilling tiebreaker that involves each team facing a single over to score as many runs as possible. The team with the highest score in the Super Over would then be declared the winner of the IPL 2023 Final.
However, if circumstances prevent both a shortened match and a Super Over from taking place, the team that finished at the top of the league table during the tournament will be declared the winner. This criterion ensures that the team with the most consistent performance throughout the season is rewarded with the IPL title in the unlikely situation where the final match cannot produce a result due to inclement weather conditions.
