The sports extravaganza that the whole country had been waiting for is finally here, the IPL 2023 Final match. After all the hassles & fights, Chennai Super Kings and Gujarat Titans have finally managed to enter the final match of the IPL 2023. The teams are pumped up & fully prepared for the final match against each other. The strategies the talent the players are all there, it’s just a matter of time before it gets decided who will lift the IPL 2023 trophy.

But there are certain parameters that are not in anyone’s control, like when it rains & the kind of climate the match day sees. On 28th May 2023, the day that was supposed to see the clash between CSK & GT in the IPL 2023 finals, it started raining heavily in Ahmedabad which led to organizers postponing the match to a day later.

Who gets to win when even the super-over cannot be played?

It would be a blessing in disguise to Gujarat Titans as under such a scenario, they will be declared the winners because of their superior overall performance in the tournament compared to Chennai Super Kings. The rule says,

“In the event that it is not possible to start the Super Over or to then complete the Super Over without interruption, the team that finished highest in the league table after the 70 matches of the regular season shall be declared the winner of the relevant playoff match or final.”
