India & Australia Could Become Joint Winners of ICC ODI World Cup in This Scenario

To account for uncertainties, the ICC has scheduled a reserve day on November 20, starting at 2 PM, in case the match remains incomplete on the scheduled day.

India is gearing up to face five-time champions Australia in the World Cup 2023 finals, set to unfold in Ahmedabad on Sunday. While Australia had dominated the 2003 World Cup finals, winning by 125 runs, this time, India enters as the favorite, boasting an unbeaten streak in the tournament. Australia, having lost two matches in the league stage to India and South Africa, recently clinched victory against South Africa in a thrilling match in Kolkata, overcoming rain interruptions.

As for the weather forecast in Ahmedabad on Sunday, the Met department predicts sunny conditions with temperatures around 33°C. The wind is expected to blow towards the south and south-west at 7 km/hr, with humidity at 39 percent. Evening conditions will be clear, with a temperature dip to 24°C and increased humidity at 58 percent, devoid of any cloud cover.

To account for uncertainties, the ICC has scheduled a reserve day on November 20, starting at 2 PM, in case the match remains incomplete on the scheduled day. The ICC aims to complete the game on the scheduled day, even if overs need to be reduced. However, if a minimum of 20 overs per side cannot be bowled, the match will continue on the reserve day. If no play is possible despite extended time, the entire game will be played on the reserve day as a full fifty-over match.

Additionally, the ICC allows umpires to assign an extra 120 minutes on both Sunday and Monday (reserve day) to conclude the match. In the event of a tie, teams will participate in a Super Over, with subsequent Super Overs played until a clear winner emerges. If the match is abandoned or has no result at the end of the reserve day, both teams will be declared joint winners, sharing the prize money of $4 million, as per ICC regulations.
