What if rain washes out finale ?

If the condition doesn't improve and remains the same on the resrve day, then the team that finished higher in the league stage will be declared IPL 2025 champions. Well in that case Punjab Kings will have the edge. After finishing top on points table with nine wins from 14 matches, the Shreyas Iyer lead Punjab Kings would be crowned league champions for the year 2025.
