Rain has caused a frustrating delay in the IPL 2025 Qualifier 2 clash between Punjab Kings and Mumbai Indians in Ahmedabad. With weather conditions remaining uncertain, fans are left wondering—what happens if the match gets washed out?
According to IPL rules, if rain continues and prevents even a 5-over-per-side contest before the cut-off time, the match will be abandoned. Unlike the final, there is no reserve day allocated for this Qualifier 2 game.
In such a scenario, the rules dictate that the team which finished higher in the league stage standings will automatically progress to the final. Since Punjab Kings ended above Mumbai Indians on the points table, they will qualify for the IPL 2025 final, scheduled for June 3, if the match is called off.
As per the latest update, Punjab Kings won the toss and chose to bowl first, with play yet to begin due to rain interruptions. Fans will now be hoping for a weather break long enough to allow at least a 5-over shootout to decide the finalist on the field.
