If the second innings cannot start due to rain, it will resume immediately after the next scheduled match:

Only 6 overs will be played.

The target will be calculated using the DLS method (as per Crick Heroz).

If rain interrupts after 6 overs of the second innings are completed, the final result will be declared as per DLS.

⏱️ Time Management & Penalties

Teams found delaying the second innings during the DLS phase will be penalized 5 runs for every 5 minutes of delay.

Umpires will assign a fixed time to complete the 6 overs.

Any time exceeding this limit will result in run penalties.

The umpire's decision will be final and binding.
