Reserve Day for the Final
It is important to note that there are no reserve days for the qualifier and eliminator matches in IPL. Historically, these matches have not been affected by rain. However, the BCCI has allocated an extra two hours of time for potential delays due to rain. This means that even if the match starts at 9:30 PM, all 20 overs will still be played. If rain prevents any play, the team that finished higher in the league stage will be declared the winner of that match. A reserve day has been set for the final match.
