If the qualifier match is abandoned in the rain, who will go to the final?

In the first qualifier in Ahmedabad, Kolkata and Hyderabad will take the field on Tuesday. Rain has become a cause of concern in such a situation. Because, the last match of the group stage has also been abandoned due to rain. Also a few days ago Kolkata-Gujarat match in Ahmedabad was washed away by rain.

Now the question is, if the qualifiers are not played due to rain, which team will make it to the finals? Due to this no reserve day has been kept for the qualifiers.

Firstly, the match officials will try their best to organize the match on the field. They will try to play at least 5 overs. Because according to the rules, for a match to happen, both teams have to play a minimum of five overs. If it doesn't, the match will be lost.

If the first qualifier is abandoned due to rain then the team at the top of the points table will go to the final. That means Kolkata will go directly to the final. The same rule will be followed in the eliminator. Rajasthan and Bengaluru will meet in the eliminator on Wednesday (May 22). As a result, if that match is also canceled due to rain, Rajasthan will advance to the second qualifier. Due to their position in the table above Bangalore.

Meanwhile, if the second qualifier is also washed away by rain, then Hyderabad will play in the final due to being on top of the points list. That is, Kolkata and Hyderabad will face each other in the final on May 26 in Chennai.

But since there is a reserve day for the final, there is less worry about that match. Regardless of the result, viewers need not worry about the final for now.
