Rain stops and the ground is ready for play by 12:26 am IST
In case the rain stops and the ground gets ready for play by 12:26 am IST, then five overs a side encounter can be played to find out the winner.
The dreadful Super Over
If the rain does not stop on reserve day too and the match is unable to get finished in the stipulated three hours and 20 minutes plus the added two hours, then the umpires would try and asses the pitch again. If found suitable, a super over will be conducted to decide the winner. This is not the ideal case scenario, but if a super over is also not possible, then the highest placed team in the points table after the end of the league stage, which is Gujarat Titans, will be declared champions.
