Mumbai Indians Secure Spot in IPL Qualifier-2 Amid Rain Concerns

Mumbai Indians Triumph Over Gujarat Titans

In the IPL 2025 Eliminator match held in Mullanpur on Friday, the Mumbai Indians emerged victorious against the Gujarat Titans, winning by 20 runs. This victory has secured their place in Qualifier-2, where they will compete against the Punjab Kings on June 1 for a chance to reach the final.

Implications of the Upcoming Match

The winner of this pivotal match will face the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in the IPL 2025 Final. Conversely, the losing team will be eliminated from the tournament. The match is set to take place at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, commencing at 7:30 PM IST. However, concerns arise regarding potential rain disruptions. What will happen if rain affects the match? Will it be canceled? Who will advance to the final?

Understanding IPL Rain Rules

With rain having impacted several matches in IPL 2025, fans are understandably anxious about the weather conditions. If rain interrupts the Qualifier-2 match between Punjab Kings and Mumbai Indians, the IPL has designated a Reserve Day for both Qualifier-2 and the Final.

This means that if the match cannot be completed on June 1 due to rain, it will be rescheduled for June 2.

What If the Reserve Day Is Also Affected?

Should rain persist on June 2, preventing any play on both days, the match outcome will be determined by the IPL 2025 points table standings from the league stage. In this scenario, the Punjab Kings, who finished with 19 points, would advance to the final, while the Mumbai Indians, with 16 points, would be eliminated.

Weather Forecast for Ahmedabad

According to AccuWeather, the likelihood of rain in Ahmedabad on June 1 is minimal at just 2%, with wind speeds anticipated to be around 20 km/h. However, the forecast for June 2 indicates a slightly increased 25% chance of rain.

As it stands, fans can look forward to a complete match on June 1, barring any unforeseen weather changes.
