Yes true, it is equivalent to rain coming n the 2nd innings and match getting abandoned. Some natural/unnatural calamities, nothing can be done. It will be there n the ipl contracts also i think.
Once in an earlier year a CSK playoffs match was played n Lucknow twice i think due to rain. One innings was already played before the rain started.
Or that day they could have got 1 point each similar to a rain abandoned match.
Even in 23 due to rain they postponed the match they followed DlS method...
This match is pretty unfair with Punjab when top 2 depend on this matches
I hope some how they manage to win this one...(That was their day so was the match)now they have to start again so..
