If PBKS VS RCB final is washed, which team will be crowned IPL 2025 champion?

Well, after two months of continuous matches, IPL will see a new winner in the 2025 edition — and much to the delight of the fans, it will be one of the two oldest teams in the competition, RCB and PBKS. The two have played in finals before, but never got their hands on the trophy, but all that would change on Tuesday.. only if the weather in Ahmedabad permits.

Yes, as per AccuWeather, there is a chance of precipitation, albeit only 9%. But then, one has be ready for all eventualities. So, for the final there is a reserve day in place, which will ensure a possible outcome. In case, there is rain on the reserve day as well, and no result is possible, then PBKS will go on to win the title, on account of topping the group stages, where RCB finished 2nd, just marginally.

For the unversed, a similar situation had arisen in the IPL 2023 final between CSK and GT in Ahmedabad. The match was interrupted due to rain May 28, but went into the reserve day. Then when the match started, GT scored 214/4, while CSK’s chase was halted in the first over itself. Then the match eventually resumed at 12.10 am the following day, with reduced overs.
