Thus, the likelihood of a complete match seems doubtful. To ensure the game’s completion, the ICC (International Cricket Council) has set aside a reserve day for the final on Sunday, June 30. Nevertheless, every effort will be made to finish the match on the scheduled day. If the game is moved to the reserve day, it will again start at 10:30 am (local time).

What Happens In Case Of A Washout?

For a result to be determined using the DLS method, both teams must play at least ten overs, unlike the group stage games where five overs per side were sufficient. If neither team can bat for ten overs each over the two days, the trophy will be shared between the finalists.
