Weather Safeguards in Place: Reserve Day Prepared for Unpredictable WTC Final Conditions

In the 2021 WTC final, the reserve day came into play due to incessant rain, resulting in the cancellation of the entire two-day play. Similarly, for this year's final, a reserve day has been allocated to account for any potential disruption caused by rain during the five scheduled days of the match. The reserve day will be activated if there is a substantial loss of playing time or a significant reduction in the number of overs bowled during the initial five days.

What will happen if the WTC 2023 final ends in a draw?

If the game ends in a draw, despite using the reserve day, the trophy will be shared between the two teams. The team that has a higher position in the points table will not have any advantage when entering the final. To stake their claim on the highly coveted trophy, a team must secure a victory.
