What would happen if the result could not be announced because of the rain? Which team will end up being the winner in that case?
In the event that the result of the test match could not be determined because of the rain, then both sides would be recognized as having won the match jointly. As a side note, there will be one day set aside as a reserve for the test match. The International Cricket Council has already made it quite clear that both sides would be deemed winners in the event that the title match ends in a draw or a tie.
The cash prizes will be split evenly among the winners.
If the weather prevents the competition from being completed, the prize money will be split between the two competing teams. The team that triumphed in the Test Championship 2023 will receive $ 1.6 million, which is equivalent to more than Rs 13 crore, and the team that finished in second place will receive $ 8 lakh, which is equivalent to Rs 6.5 crore. In the event that the game ends in a tie, the 6.5 crore rupee pot will be split evenly between the two teams.

What plans do we have for the reserve day?
If it rains on the day of the game, the International Cricket Council (ICC) rules provide that just a portion of the scheduled overs can be played, and the test match will continue until the final day. However, if the outcome of the match cannot be determined, the umpires have the option of moving the game to the reserve day. The match will not be extended to the reserve day if the outcome is determined to be a loss, victory, draw, or tie within the first five normal days of play.

Only in the event that fewer overs are played on each day than the total number of fixed overs will the reserve day be used. The reserve day will then be used to play the remaining overs. According to the ICC, the referee is the one who will make the decision regarding the reserve day. If there is any issue regarding the time, the referee will inform both teams about the issue and explain how the reserve day might be utilized.
On the fifth day of the normal day, the referee will let the players know one hour before the match is over whether or not there will be a reserve day, as well as how long it will go if there is going to be one.
