The final match of IPL 2024 will be played on Sunday, May 26 at MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) will face each other to win the title of the 17th season. Both the teams will try their best to win this trophy. During the league stage, three matches, Gujarat vs Kolkata on May 13 and Hyderabad vs Gujarat on May 16 and Rajasthan vs Kolkata on May 19 were canceled due to rain.
In such a situation, there are many questions in the minds of the fans before this match. Like- what will be the mood of the weather of Chennai today. What are the chances of rain in this match, if the match is canceled due to rain then which team will win the trophy. What will happen if rain disrupts the final today and due to this the match is canceled?
IPL fans need not panic about bad weather. The BCCI has already kept a reserve day to deal with bad weather conditions. If the match gets interrupted due to unpleasant weather on Sunday and there is no way to resume, it will start afresh on Monday, even if a few overs are bowled. Still, the cut-off time on the scheduled day will be extended to 120 minutes to ensure a full match.
In case no match is played on the reserve day, the team with more points at the end of the league stage will be declared the winner, making Shreyas Iyer’s Kolkata Knight Riders the champions.
However, a good thing for both the teams and their fans is that there is no forecast of rain in Chennai. According to Accuweather, Chennai will be lightly cloudy on May 26. During this time, the minimum temperature is forecast to be 29 degrees, while the maximum temperature is going to be 37 degrees.
