The ICC’s Playing Conditions state for the reserve day: “every effort will be made to complete the match on the scheduled day with any necessary reduction in overs taking place and only if the minimum number of overs necessary to constitute a match cannot be bowled on the scheduled day will the match be completed on the reserve day.”
A valid result requires a minimum of 10 overs per team. If interrupted by rain on Saturday, the match will continue from the same juncture on the reserve day.
