The stage is set for the Indian Premier League 2025 final between Royal Challengers Bangalore and Punjab Kings. The big game is scheduled for June 3 at 7:30 PM at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. Before the match, the Indian Premier League 2025 closing ceremony will take place. This time, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is set to honor the Indian Army during the ceremony.
If rain interrupts the final, the result will be decided based on the reserve day. Initially, the final was set to take place at Eden Gardens in Kolkata, but due to tensions between India and Pakistan, it was shifted to Ahmedabad. In case of rain, the match can be extended by two hours, potentially delaying the result until 1-1:30 AM.
A reserve day is in place for the final, so if the match is washed out on June 3, it will be played on June 4. However, the weather forecast suggests only a 20% chance of rain in Ahmedabad on June 3.
If the match is still unable to take place on June 4 due to rain, Punjab Kings will be declared the winner of IPL 2025. This is because they topped the points table in the league matches, with both teams earning 19 points but Punjab having a better net run rate than Royal Challengers Bangalore. As a result, Punjab Kings finished first and Royal Challengers Bangalore second in the standings.
