The IPL 2025 Final is just hours away from kickoff at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, provided that everything goes according to plan and the weather cooperates. Rain is currently predicted to occur during the early evening, which will complicate the beginning of the game and perhaps cause a delay in its start.

The IPL governing council has given each game an additional two hours to be played to completion, but there are still concerns that the IPL 2025 final between the Punjab Kings and the Royal Challengers Bangalore may be rained out due to bad weather causing a significant delay in the Qualifier 2 game in Ahmedabad on Sunday evening.

Is there a backup day for the IPL 2025 Final?

However, if the weather is bad enough to force the entire match from June 3, or even if it is necessary to finish a game that has already started, there is a backup day planned for June 4.

The 2023 IPL final between the Gujarat Titans and Chennai Super Kings, which was supposed to take place at the same location but was canceled due to persistent rain, will be remembered by fans. The next day, though, the teams came back for another game that was interrupted by rain. The match lasted 15 overs for each team, and CSK won by DLS technique.

The IPL trophy will go to the team that placed higher in the standings if both days are rained out. Given that Punjab placed first in the standings but only had a 0.07-point advantage in terms of net run-rate, this will be a very hard pill for RCB supporters to accept. Given that they defeated Punjab in Qualifier 1 to get to the final and will get no benefit for that specific outcome, they will feel especially wronged.

With these two evenly matched teams fighting it out to see who can become the one to lift their first IPL trophy, both teams and both sets of fans will be hoping for action to come to a close today itself. Hopefully the rain will hold off and we will have a complete cricket match.
