Following Chennai Super Kings and Gujarat Titans, rain has emerged as the third contender ahead of Indian Premier League 2023 final at the Narendra Modi Stadium. Likely to become the eighth match of the season to get affected by rain, it will become the second playoffs contest to bear the brunt of weather assuming it pours down at the venue within the next six hours or so.

Considering how IPL 2023 Qualifier 2 between Titans and Mumbai Indians in Ahmedabad had started late due to rain, there is no hiding to the fact that rain has made its presence felt in the city this week. Although a slight delay will still be acceptable, even a single reduction in the number of overs won’t be appreciated by fans especially the ones who’ve traveled hundreds of km to be present at this iconic venue for this iconic clash.

CSK vs GT IPL Final Weather Report Of Narendra Modi Stadium
Sunday evening hasn’t witnessed any amount of rainfall falling in Ahmedabad, at least for now. That being said, that could change primarily because of an increase in rain probability from 06:00 PM to 07:00 PM (local time).
If trustworthy weather portal AccuWeather is to be believed, rain probability will jump from 8% to 49% within the next 60 minutes. With the toss slated to happen at 07:00 PM, it wouldn’t be a surprise if either the toss or the start of the match gets postponed. Readers must note that the chances of rain will further increase to 64% by 08:00 PM and remain the same till 09:00 PM.
It will only be post 9 PM that the rain probability is anticipated to reduce by more than half. Expected to be around 20% at 11:00 PM, the number will further drop down to a single-digit figure around 01:00 AM (Monday).
It is worth a mention that match officials will try their best to get done with the contest on the scheduled day itself. However, assuming that weather gods don’t allow for even a five-over contest to take place, a Reserve Day is part of the arrangements for IPL 2023 final.
