RCB vs GT Final Weather Report: Will rain spoil the thrill of the final, what will happen if water falls on the reserve day also?

The final match of IPL 2026 is to be played between Royal Challengers Bangalore and Gujarat Titans on Sunday 31 May. This match is to be played at Narendra Modi Cricket Stadium in Ahmedabad. The match will start at 7 o’clock Indian time. The first ball will be bowled at 7:30. BCCI did not keep reserve days for Qualifier 1, Eliminator and Qualifier 2 in the IPL 2026 playoffs. But a reserve day has been kept for big matches like the final.

If it rains on the day of the final match, the match will be shifted to Monday as a reserve day. But what will happen if it rains on the reserve day also? Let us know how the weather is in Ahmedabad and the rules on reserve day. If it rains on the match day then the match will go to the reserve day and if it rains during the final match then on the reserve day the match will start from where it was stopped.

If it rains even on reserve day

Whereas if it rains even on the reserve day, then there will be an extra wait of 120 minutes and if the rain does not stop and the match is not held even on the reserve day, then RCB will be made the champion. The reason for this is that RCB team is on top in the points table and Gujarat team is at second position. Now if RCB has a better net run rate and position than Gujarat, then Bengaluru will get the title of IPL 2026.

According to the report of the Meteorological Department, there is absolutely no possibility of rain in Ahmedabad. On the day of the final, the sky will be clear and there is no hope of rain.
