If under any circumstances not a single ball is played in this match, then the umpires will first have to explore the possibility of a super over, which will decide the winner. If the situation becomes such that even a super over does not happen, then the decision will be taken on the basis of the points table of the league stage. Looking at the current season, in this situation Gujarat Titans will get the ticket for the final.
