Rain threat over IPL 2024 Final: What happens if the match ends up being a washout? Is there a reserve day? Know Here

 If the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) vs Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) match ends up being a washout, there is a reserve day in place for the competition. If rain hampers the competition on Sunday, the match-up will be shifted to Monday, May 27th, 2024. However, if the match ends up being washed out on the reserve day as well, the Kolkata Knight Riders will be handed the title since they have a better net run rate and stand atop SRH in the IPL 2024 points table. But the umpires and match officials will look to get the results of the match on Sunday itself.

As per Accuweather.com, on May 26, the evening in Chennai will continue to be overcast. Once more, the captains will have to win the toss and attempt to bat first because there will be 100% cloud cover and little dew. There will be a 34-32 degree Celsius temperature range. The humidity will rise from 61 per cent at 7 pm to 68 per cent at 11 PM IST.

On the eve of the final, late in the evening, Chennai had sporadic thunderstorms that disrupted both teams' training practices.
