IPL 2025 Final Preview:
The Qualifier 2 of IPL 2025 between Punjab Kings and Mumbai Indians was played at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. The start of the match was delayed by nearly two hours as rain arrived right after the toss. This game of hide and seek with the rain continued for about two hours, and the match finally began at 9:45 PM. Interestingly, no rain was forecasted for this match, so the sudden showers left fans anxious, especially since there was no reserve day for Qualifier 2. However, once the match began, rain didn’t interrupt again, and in the end, Punjab Kings defeated Mumbai Indians to secure a place in the final.
The IPL 2025 final is scheduled for June 3 at the same venue — the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. Both Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Punjab Kings have been part of the league since its inception but are yet to win a title. That means this season will definitely crown a new champion. However, fans might be disappointed, as rain is once again in the forecast for Tuesday in Ahmedabad.

IPL 2025 Final Preview: What will happen if the match gets cancelled
Like the other knockout matches, this game is also allotted an additional 120 minutes. However, if the match on June 3 is washed out due to rain, then June 4 has been set as the reserve day for the match to produce a result. The umpires will try to conclude the match on the first day itself, but if that is not possible, the game will move to the reserve day. However, if rain prevents a result on both days, Punjab Kings will be awarded the trophy as they finished higher than Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the points table.
