The high-voltage clash between India and South Africa in the all-important T20 World Cup 2024 final will take place at Kensington Oval, Bridgetown, on June 29. The stakes, of course, are high, as both sides are desperately eyeing the title after a never-ending wait.
Notably, this will be South Africa's maiden World Cup final (across ODIs and T20Is). India, on the other hand, have not won even once since emerging victorious under MS Dhoni in the inauguration edition in 2007.
However, there is one thing that you can't control, and that is the weather. We have seen plenty of matches interrupted due to heavy rain or poor outfield conditions in the ongoing edition. Will it be a similar day in Barbados tomorrow? Or if rain does not permit any further play, what will happen? Let's take a look into this.
T20 World Cup 2024 Final Rules
First of all, there is a reserve day in place by the ICC. There must be a 10-over game for a result in the final. However, even if there are some overs on June 29, the reserve day, which will be the following day, will resume the action, instead of a fresh start altogether.
Notably, umpires can wait an additional 190 minutes on the scheduled day to try as hard as possible for the high-octane final.
What if Reserve Day Of T20 World Cup 2024 Final Gets Washed Out
Well, if weather does not permit to allow any action, the ICC has kept Super Over for the ultimate winner. And if, that too doesn't take place, the match will end on no result. In that case, India and South Africa will be declared as joint winners.
