What if rain affects the final?
The weather in Ahmedabad could play a crucial role in determining whether the match proceeds as scheduled. If rain interrupts play on Sunday, the International Cricket Council (ICC) has measures in place to manage the situation. If the match is stopped because of rain, play will restart from the same point once the ground is ready again.
The ICC has also scheduled a reserve day in case the match cannot be completed on the scheduled day due to bad weather. However, officials will first try to finish the game on the scheduled day, even if there are delays.
If rain prevents play on both the match day and the reserve day, then both teams will be declared joint winners.

What if the match ends in a tie?
Another possibility is that the final could end with both teams scoring the same number of runs. In such a case, the winner will be decided through a Super Over.
A Super Over is a tie-break method used in limited-overs cricket. Each team gets six balls to bat and only three batters and one bowler are involved. If a team loses two wickets, their innings ends immediately.
The side that batted second in the main match will bat first in the Super Over, while the other team will chase the target. If the Super Over also ends in a tie, additional Super Overs will continue until a winner is named.
