Can also be played on reserve day
Many videos of rain in Barbados are coming out on social media. It has been raining in Barbados for the last few days. If the final cannot be played today due to rain, then this match can be played on reserve day i.e. 30 June. ICC has made a different rule for the final. 190 minutes have been kept extra for the final match. That is, if rain starts before the match, then one can wait for 190 minutes and if the rain does not stop even after that, then the overs will be reduced.
What if you don't even play on the reserve day?
If the match is not decided due to rain on June 29, then the match will be played on the reserve day i.e. June 30. The important thing is that the match will start from where it stopped on June 29 and the match will require at least 10-10 overs to get the result by DLS method. If the match is not decided due to rain on the reserve day on June 30, then India and South Africa will be declared joint winners.
