Ahmedabad: Cricket fans who have followed the Indian Premier League (IPL) over the years may recall a major event from the 2023 season, when for the first time ever, an IPL final was rescheduled due to bad weather. The 2023 final, originally scheduled for May 28 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in the city, had to be postponed by a day because of heavy rainfall.

Fast forward to IPL 2025, and the final match is once again set to take place at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Motera on Tuesday, June 3. However, with the early onset of monsoon in parts of the country and pre-monsoon showers witnessed in Ahmedabad this week, fans are beginning to worry: Will rain spoil the IPL 2025 final too?

No Rain Threat for IPL 2025 Final, Confirms IMD

According to the latest forecast from the India Meteorological Department (IMD), there is no rain prediction for Ahmedabad on June 3, the day of the IPL 2025 final. The IMD reports indicate that the city is likely to remain dry on Tuesday, bringing relief to cricket fans and organizers alike.

Why the Weather Update Matters

The Narendra Modi Stadium, the world’s largest cricket venue, is once again under the spotlight. Given the city’s recent showers, concerns were raised about a repeat of the 2023 situation. However, the IMD’s update should calm those fears, and fans can expect uninterrupted cricketing action on the big day. Prior to that, on Sunday, i.e. June 1, Qualifier 2 will also be hosted at the Motera Stadium, and weather is predicted to be dry on this day as well, leaving fans with relief and excitement for the match.

Who’s in the IPL 2025 Final?

So far, Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) has secured its place in the final after defeating Punjab Kings in Qualifier 1 on May 29. The Eliminator match today features Gujarat Titans against Mumbai Indians. The winner of this match will face Punjab Kings in Qualifier 2. The victor of that clash will meet RCB in the IPL 2025 final.

RCB has never lifted the IPL trophy in its history, making this final even more significant for their fans. DeshGujarat
