What happens if an ICC Champions Trophy match is abandoned due to rain?
The result of any match which is affected by rain will be decided by the Duckworth-Lewis method. However, both teams will have to face a minimum of 20 overs. Case in point, the rain-affected final of the 2013 Champions Trophy between India and England.
Will there be any reserve day in the ICC Champions Trophy?
The rain-affected matches in the ICC Champions Trophy will have reserve days but only when it is a semi-final or a final. Any group stage match that is being abandoned due to rain will not have a reserve day and the two sides will share a point each.
Famously, in the Champions Trophy Final of 2002 where India and Sri Lanka played in Colombo, the original day ended in a washout after Sri Lanka's full innings and India's two overs.
On the reserve day, the match was restarted and once again the match was abandoned after Sri Lanka's full innings and India's 8.4 overs. The two Asian sides ended up sharing the Champions Trophy honours.
