The qualifier between RR and GT was washed out by persistent rain and could not be completed, leaving the pathway to the final uncertain for both teams.
The match abandonment means the immediate result hinges on tournament playing regulations, with the league order playing a decisive role if play cannot resume.
Organizers use a reserve day for knockout fixtures, but when weather prevents completion even on that day, progression is determined by the positions on the points table.
How The Rule Works And What It Means
If a knockout match cannot be finished despite the reserve day, the team higher in the league standings advances to the next round, including the final.
For tied knockout matches, the playing conditions require a Super Over to produce a result, while washed out games that yield no result revert to group rankings.
The rule effectively rewards the team that performed better across the league phase, and it decides which side moves on when weather removes the possibility of an on-field outcome.
The carried consequence is straightforward, the team with the superior points table position will claim the vacant final berth if the abandoned qualifier cannot be completed.
The report notes that tournament history has seen playoff progression influenced by weather and by table positions, and the same procedures apply to this rain-affected qualifier.
Teams and supporters must therefore treat the points table as determining factor when weather interrupts knockout matches, because competition rules give precedence to group stage standings.
