The ICC has announced contingency plans in case of inclement weather. According to the guidelines, if play is interrupted on the scheduled day, umpires will utilize available extra time and, if necessary, reduce the number of overs to achieve a result on that day. The primary aim is to maximize play and conclude the match on the scheduled day, treating the day as if there were no reserve day.

In the event that play is not possible on Saturday due to weather interruptions, a reserve day has been set for Sunday. However, if the match cannot be completed even on the reserve day after all efforts to continue play, India and South Africa will be declared joint winners of the ICC T20 World Cup.

This contingency ensures that the tournament concludes with a fair outcome, honoring the efforts of both teams. Fans and players alike are hoping for clear skies and an uninterrupted match, ensuring a thrilling and decisive end to the tournament.

As the cricketing world holds its breath, all eyes will be on the pitch today, hoping for a classic final that lives up to the tournament’s high standards.
