The final of the Indian Premier League between Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Punjab Kings is set to take place at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. However, the match is facing a threat from heavy rains, with the pitch being covered just three hours before the toss.
The weather in Ahmedabad is being closely monitored, with reports of thunderstorms predicted for the day. A tweet from Ashwin Achal highlighted heavy rain near the stadium, raising concerns about the match being affected.
In case the final is washed out due to the weather, playing conditions allow for two hours of extra time to accommodate delays. If the match cannot be completed on Tuesday, it will be carried over to the reserve day on Wednesday. If even the reserve day is affected by rain, Punjab Kings will be crowned champions by virtue of their higher position on the points table.
Fans and players alike will be hoping for the weather to clear up and for the much-anticipated final to proceed without any interruptions. Stay tuned for updates on the situation in Ahmedabad as the two teams battle it out for their first IPL title.
