New Delhi. The final match of T20 World Cup 2024 between India and South Africa is going to be held in Barbados, West Indies. There is a shadow of rain over this match. By late evening according to Indian time the sky was clear and the sun was also out. However, there is no denying that rain has disrupted the match. This question will arise in the mind of the fans whether the match between India and South Africa will be 20-20 overs or not. Due to rain interruptions, sports fans can also witness 10-10 over matches.
Although a reserve day has also been kept for this match, the umpires will try their best to get the result of the match today itself. According to ICC rules, a full match will be 40 overs if the game does not start for more than 60 minutes. So if the match starts at 9 PM IST then the entire game will be watched. After this the number of overs will be reduced.

How long is a 10-10 over match possible?
Each team has to bat at least 10 overs to continue the match. In this case, there is a buffer time of 190 minutes. This means that a 10-over game per team cannot start after 11.10 pm IST. If even after this the match cannot start then it will be cancelled. After this, the match will be played on the reserve day on the next day.
…then the result will come from super over
If the match cannot be played even on the reserve day due to rain, the umpire will organize a super over. The winning team in the Super Over will also win the World Cup. If the super-over cannot be played due to rain, the two teams will be declared joint World Cup winners.
