IIE Digital Desk : Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) approaching, fans are anxiously considering the possibility of rain disrupting the match. If the final is abandoned due to rain, the winner will be determined based on specific IPL rules designed for such situations. According to the IPL guidelines, if the final cannot be completed on the scheduled day, there is a reserve day set aside to ensure the match can take place. However, if weather conditions prevent the match from being played even on the reserve day, the team that finished higher in the league stage standings will be declared the winner.

For this year's final, both KKR and SRH are preparing for all possibilities, including weather interruptions. KKR, known for their strong performances throughout the season, finished higher on the points table compared to SRH. This means that if the match is entirely washed out and cannot be rescheduled, KKR will be declared the IPL 2024 champions based on their superior league position. Fans are hopeful that the weather will cooperate, allowing for a full and exciting final match. However, in the event of an unavoidable washout, the IPL's contingency plans ensure that a winner is still crowned.
