In the Eliminator match of IPL 2025 played in Mullanpur on Friday, Mumbai Indians defeated Gujarat Titans by 20 runs and sealed their place in Qualifier-2. Mumbai will now face Punjab Kings on June 1 for a spot in the final.
The winner of this crucial match will take on Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in the IPL 2025 Final, while the losing team will be eliminated from the tournament. The match is scheduled to be played at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, starting at 7:30 PM IST. However, a big question looms – what if rain disrupts the match? Will the match be cancelled? Who will go to the final?
Let’s break down the IPL rain rules for such situations.
What Happens If It Rains in Qualifier-2?
Rain has already affected several matches during IPL 2025, and fans are understandably concerned about the weather. If rain disrupts the Punjab Kings vs Mumbai Indians Qualifier-2, the IPL has allocated a Reserve Day for both the Qualifier-2 and the Final.
That means if the match cannot be completed on June 1 due to rain, it will be rescheduled for June 2.

What If Reserve Day Also Gets Washed Out?
If rain continues on June 2, and not a single ball can be bowled across both days, the match result will be determined based on the IPL 2025 points table standings from the league stage.
In that case, Punjab Kings, who finished with 19 points, will advance to the final, while Mumbai Indians, who earned 16 points, will be knocked out of the tournament.
