New Delhi: Suryakumar Yadav’s side will aim to create history by defending their title as India take on New Zealand in the final of the 2026 T20 World Cup at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Sunday. The Indian team defeated England in the semi-finals to advance to the top showdown, becoming the third team after Pakistan and Sri Lanka to enter the T20 World Cup finals in a row.
However, New Zealand remains a formidable opponent and has never lost to India in previous T20 World Cup matches.With such an important game coming up, fans are also curious about what will happen if weather or other circumstances affect the final. According to ICC rules, the organizers will first try to complete the match on the scheduled date, even if the match has to be shortened due to rain.If the match cannot be completed on the day, a reserved day will be arranged. The game will continue where it left off, rather than restarting. However, if a result is still not possible due to rain after the qualifying round, both teams will be declared joint winners of the tournament.Another possibility is that the game ends in a draw. In this case, the winner will be decided through the Super Overs, with both teams getting an extra over in batting and bowling.If the super round also ends in a draw, another match will be played.The rule was introduced in the aftermath of the controversial 2019 ODI World Cup final. Earlier, only one Super Over was played, and in case of a tie, the team that hit the over-the-edge won. Now, the super rounds will continue until a clear winner emerges.
