There is a possibility of rain on June 29, i.e. Saturday. There is a 70 percent chance of rain on Saturday. Thus, there are full possibilities that rain can become the villain in the final match. In such a match the possibility of disruption is high. However, the local weather department has predicted that there is little chance of rain in Barbados on Sunday.
Reserve day for Sunday finals
In the semi-finals, ICC kept one reserve day available for one match. Which was reserved for the first semi-final match. That is, a reserve day was kept for the semi-final match between South Africa and Afghanistan. When the reserve day was not kept for the match played between India and England. However, 240 minutes extra was kept in the match between India and England. That is, 4 hours and 10 minutes more time was given.
ICC has declared Sunday as reserve day for the final match. That is, June 30 has been declared as a reserve day for the final. That means if it rains on June 29 and disrupts the match, the final match can be completed on Sunday. So if the match is not completed on Saturday, then the match can be completed on Sunday. ICC has also kept 190 minutes extra time for both the days. So the effort will be that the result of the match can be revealed on Saturday itself.
What if the match is completely washed out?
What can happen if rain plays a villain on both days in the final match between India and South Africa and washes away the entire match. That is, if the result of the match is not revealed on both days due to rain and the match has to be cancelled, who can win the trophy?
If this happens, both the teams can be declared joint winners by the ICC. Thus both the T20 World Cup trophies can be declared between the Indian and South African teams.
