IPL 2022 Qualifier 1: Will there be a reserve day for the playoffs?
- No reserve day is allotted for Qualifier 1, Eliminator, and Qualifier 2 in case rain plays its part.
- With IPL final set to take place on Sunday, May 29 there will be a reserve day on Monday in case of any delay or unplayable conditions.
Teams already alerted on account of rain-
With inclement weather including showers forecast in Kolkata at least for the first of the week, the guidelines were sent to the four teams with a list of playing conditions that would be triggered in case the matches are affected by rain or any other reason.
Guidelines –
- An allowance of an extra two hours over the stipulated 200 minutes of match time has been added to the playing conditions.
- In case the start gets delayed, the first three playoff matches can start as late as 9:40pm while the final can begin at 10:10pm without any overs being lost.
- the two strategic timeouts per innings will be retained
- There will be a 20-minute mid-innings break being halved if rain delays the proceedings.

Rules in case of reduced overs-
- The number of overs in the playoff match may, if necessary, be reduced so that each side has the opportunity to bat for five overs
- There will be no timeouts for a five-overs-a-side game which will have a cut-off start time of four minutes before midnight (11:56pm) with a 10-minute innings break and a scheduled finish time of 12:50pm
- In case the final is reduced a five-overs-a-side match, it would need to begin latest by 12:26am.
What if Qualifier 1, Eliminator or Qualifier 2 get rain affected?-
- In the event that it is not possible to schedule a five-over match to complete by the end of the extra time on the original day, the teams will, if conditions permit, play a Super Over to determine the winner of the relevant Eliminator or Qualifier match.
- The Super Over would need to start at 12:50 am for these matches to finish.
- In the scenario where the Super Over is also not possible, the team that finished highest in the league table after the 70 matches of the regular season shall be declared the winner of the relevant playoff match or final.
- For the two Qualifiers and the Eliminator, which do not have a reserve day, if one innings is complete but the second is affected by rain with no play possible, the DLS method would be applied to determine the match result.
Rules for the final-
- The IPL has also pointed out that in case the final started on May 29 (at least one ball is bowled), but was not finished on the original day, then the match would be wrapped on the reserve day.
- The match will resume at the point where it stopped on the previous day. For the avoidance of doubt, any match recalculations done without the match actually restarting on the previous night will be ignored.
- In case where no play would be possible after toss in the final, teams would have a fresh toss on the reserve day.
- The IPL said the reserve day will comprise the same amount of playing time – five hours and 20 minutes including the two extra hours available in case of any disruption or rain.
- In case of final, the Super Over would need to start at 1:20 am
