T20 World Cup 2022 Final PAK vs ENG: Due to rain if the match could not be completed even on the reserve day, who will get the title?

The T20 World Cup final between England and Pakistan is to be held at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on Sunday and the next day on Reserve Day is threatening rain, which can declare these two teams joint winners. At present, Melbourne has a 95 percent chance of rain on Sunday, with up to 25 mm of rain.

The Meteorological Department says, 'The probability of rain is very high (about 100 percent). The possibility of heavy rain and thundershowers is very high. Unfortunately, even on the 'reserve day' for the match on Monday, there is a 95 percent chance of rain, with five to 10 mm of rain. The rules of the tournament for the final state that each team must play at least 10 overs in a knockout round match.

If rain fails to play on both days, England and Pakistan will be forced to share the trophy. According to the report, 'The first priority, if necessary, would be to complete the missed match on Sunday, which means that the overs will be reduced before the reserve day.'He said, 'If the match has started on Sunday but is not completed, then it will start on 'Reserve Day' from where it stopped. Once the toss is done, the match will be considered 'live'.

The match will begin at 7 pm local time and if no play takes place, the match will be held on Monday on Reserve Day, starting at 3 pm local time. According to the Laws of Play, 'Even if a reserve has been given, every effort shall be made to finish the match on the specified day with a provision to reduce the overs and if the minimum number of overs required for the match cannot be bowled on the specified day, the match shall be played. Will be completed on reserve day.

According to this, 'if the match has started on the scheduled day and the overs have been reduced after a rain interruption but further play is not possible, then the match will start on the reserve day with the same ball that was to be bowled on the previous day'.The last time the 2019 ODI World Cup semi-final between India and New Zealand was played was on both days due to rain. The 2002 Champions Trophy final between India and Sri Lanka was also washed out due to rain. But then according to the rules of play, a new match was to be started on the reserve day but this too was canceled. Due to rain, three league-round matches at the MCG were canceled without a ball being bowled while overs were reduced to one.
