In the Round 1 and Super 12 stages, a point will be shared if there is no minmum number of overs (at least 5 overs for each team) to decide a result possible. However, there is a reserve day for the knock-out stages with the following conditions:

• For both the semi-finals and Final, every effort will be made to complete the match on the scheduled day with any necessary reduction in overs taking place.

• Only if the minimum number of overs necessary to constitute a match (at least 5 overs per side) cannot be bowled on the scheduled day will the match be completed on the reserve day.

• If a match starts on the scheduled day and overs are reduced following an interruption but no further play is possible, the match will resume on the reserve day at the point where the last ball was played.
