That is, there is every possibility of a tough fight. Now talk about the relationship and weather. By the way, if Aqueder’s report is to be believed, there is no possibility of rain in Dubai on 9 March. But even if it rains and the match stops, then the ICC has also arranged for Reserve Day for this. That is, if the match is not done on March 9, it will be done on 10 March. The ICC has now changed the rules. It is not that on March 9, a little match can be held and then it rains, then ten will be matched from there. The next day i.e. on March 10, the match will start again, so that both teams have an opportunity to equal.

In the 2002 Champions Trophy, India and Sri Lanka confirmed their place in the finals. During that time, both days could not be matching. According to the ICC rule then both teams were declared joint winners. This time something similar will happen, if it rains. According to the ICC, the final match should be completed. If this is not possible, then joint winner will be declared. The decision will not be taken on the basis of the matches played here. The team which will be heavy on the match day will win. However, it is good only if it does not rain. In view of the possibilities of rain, the ICC has also arranged for Reserve Day for the final and semi -finals.
