Rain may loom over India vs South Africa final match ICC has kept a reserve day in the T20 World Final
New Delhi. The Indian cricket team led by Rohit Sharma will clash with South Africa in the T20 World Cup 2024 final on Saturday. Both the teams have geared up for this great match to be played in Bardos. Team India would like to become the world champion in T20 for the second time, while South Africa is waiting for an ICC trophy for the first time. The most special thing about both the teams is that both have got the ticket to the final by remaining undefeated. While India has won 7 matches in a row, South Africa has claimed the title by winning 8 matches in a row. Rain can hinder the final. However, the ICC has also kept a reserve day for this. Not only this, there is also 190 minutes of extra time in Barbados for the final. The ICC has kept a condition regarding the reserve day. Now what is this condition? Let’s know.
The T20 World Cup 2024 final between India and South Africa (IND vs SA) will be played from 8:00 pm Indian time. At that time it will be 10:30 am in Barbados. The match will be played on the reserve day only if the match is not possible on the first day. According to the rules of the ICC, even if there is a rain interruption on the day of the final, efforts will be made to have a match of at least 10 overs. This is because in this World Cup, the ICC has made it mandatory to have a match of at least ten overs for the result in the semi-finals and finals. If even a 10-over match is not possible on June 29, then only this match will go to the reserve day. Apart from this, if the match starts on Saturday and the game after that is not possible due to rain, then the match will start from where it was left on the first day in the reserve day. An additional time of 190 minutes has also been kept for the final. It can be said that the ICC wants this match to end on the first day in any way.
In this condition both the teams will become joint winners
Suppose if a 10 over match is not held even on Saturday or Sunday, then India and South Africa will be declared joint winners. India defeated defending champion England in the semi-finals, while South Africa defeated giant killer Afghanistan to set up a title clash with India.
