If rain disrupts Qualifier 2, there is no reserve day scheduled for the knockout fixture. The IPL has instead allocated an additional 120 minutes of buffer time for all playoff matches. Should delays occur, officials will attempt to complete the game by reducing overs, with a minimum of five overs per side required to determine a valid result. If conditions prevent even a Super Over, the match will be abandoned, and the team that finished higher on the IPL 2026 league-stage points table will automatically progress to the final.
