If the IPL 2025 Final is cancelled due to inclement weather, which team, RCB or PBKS, will be crowned champions?
Title: Who Will Claim the IPL 2025 Title if the Final Match Gets Washed Out?
Get ready, cricket fans! The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 Final is almost here, and it's going to be a thrilling battle between Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and Punjab Kings (PBKS) at Ahmedabad's Narendra Modi Stadium. But what if rain interrupts this highly-anticipated clash? Worry not, for we've got you covered!
As we speak, the IPL 2025 is inches away from its conclusion, with a nerve-wrecking final showdown brewing on June 3. The Qualifier 2 match, held on June 1, took place at the same venue, where Punjab Kings (PBKS) triumphed over Mumbai Indians (MI) by 5 wickets, despite a two-hour rain delay[1].
But there's a chance that rain could spoil the fun in the final game as well. Both PBKS and RCB are desperate for their first IPL title, and one of them will finally achieve it on Tuesday. But what if rainy weather spoils the party? Let's dive into the possibilities.
The IPL 2025 Final and the Rainy Woe
In case it drizzles at the Narendra Modi Stadium during the IPL 2025 Final, the game will proceed after the rain subsides, with a 2-hour extra time to complete the match if need be[1]. But if the rain becomes too heavy and continues to fall, and even if it affects the reserves day, there's an alternative solution.
With the rain refusing to quit, the team with a higher standing on the points table will be crowned as champions. With Punjab Kings holding the top spot (19 points and 9 wins)[1], they would secure the trophy if the final match fails to materialize[3][4].
Other Strange Scenarios in the IPL 2025 Final
Now suppose the PBKS vs RCB game results in a draw, leaving everyone on the edge of their seats. In situations like these, a Super Over is played to determine the winner[1]. If the Super Over ends in a stalemate, another one is played until a winner is declared.
The Road to the Finals: PBKS vs RCB
Both teams made it into the top 2 in the Points table, with Punjab Kings leading the pack (we can thank Shreyas Iyer for that)[1]. RCB has a similar number of points as PBKS, but their run-rate trails slightly behind[1]. In the first Qualifier game, RCB defeated PBKS by 8 wickets, qualifying directly for the finals[1]. Meanwhile, PBKS fought their way into the finals after overpowering Mumbai Indians in the second Qualifier game, also held in Ahmedabad.[1]
So brace yourself for a rollercoaster ride, as you watch the thrilling showdown between Punjab Kings and Royal Challengers Bengaluru for the IPL 2025 title.[1] Let's hope that the weather stays friendly and we have an unforgettable match on our hands.
