There is no reserve day for this match

If rain hampers the Qualifier-1, Qualifier-2 and Eliminator matches, there will be at least five over matches. If a five-over match is not possible then the result of the match will be decided by a Super Over. If a situation arises where the Super Over cannot be played, the decision will be taken based on position/ranking in the points table.
