If the IPL 2025 Qualifier 2 match between Punjab Kings (PBKS) and Mumbai Indians (MI) is washed out due to rain and no result is possible—even after utilizing the reserve day and attempting a Super Over—then the team that finished higher in the league stage standings will advance to the final.
In this scenario, Punjab Kings would progress to the final, as they secured a higher position in the league standings compared to Mumbai Indians.
The IPL has provisions to handle such situations:
1. Extra Time: An additional 120 minutes is allocated to complete the match on the scheduled day.
2. Reserve Day: If the match cannot be completed on the original day, it is rescheduled to the reserve day.
3. Super Over: If play is possible but a full match isn’t, a Super Over may be used to determine the winner.
4. League Standings: If no play is possible even on the reserve day, the team with the higher league stage ranking advances.
