What if the reserve day is also washed out?
If the reserve day for a semi-final is washed out, the team with the higher rank during the league stage qualifies for the final.
If the reserve day for the final is washed out, the trophy will be shared by the two finalists.
Will there be Super Overs?
Super Overs will be there only for semi-finals and final.
For a group stage game, the points will be shared within the teams, if there is a tie.
