IND vs AUS: What is the reserve day rule?

The 2025 Champions Trophy has reached its final stage. The group stage matches have ended and the semi-finals will be held from tomorrow. In this situation, is there a reserve day for the semi-finals and finals? Let's see how many overs should be bowled at least. Recently, a reserve day has been announced for the semi-finals and finals of the international cricket series. Because unnecessary controversies arose if the match was stopped due to rain or the result was announced according to the DLS method. To avoid that, the international Cricket Council always announces reserve days in advance.

Accordingly, the reserve day has been announced for the semi-finals of the 2025 Champions Trophy. The first semi-final will be held on march 4 between india and Australia. The first semi-final will be held at the dubai international Stadium. The reserve day for that match has been announced on march 5. The second semi-final will be held on march 5. The second semi-final will be held between south africa and New Zealand. The match will be held at the Lahore Stadium in Pakistan. The reserve day for this match has been announced on march 6.
The final of the Champions Trophy will be held on march 9. If the indian team wins the semi-final, the final will be held in Dubai. If the indian team loses the semi-final, the final will be held in Lahore Pakistan. march 10 has been announced as the reserve day for the final. There is another important feature in this. The semi-finals and finals must be bowled for at least 25 overs per inning. Only then will the result of the match be announced. For example, if rain interrupts the semi-final between south africa and New Zealand, the team batting first must have batted at least 25 overs. Then the team chasing second must also be given 25 overs. If the entire first day of play is interrupted due to rain, an additional two hours will be given. If the match cannot be completed within that time, the match will continue on the reserve day. A total of at least 25 overs must be bowled by both teams on the match day and the reserve day. Only then will the result of the match be announced. If rain prevents 25 overs from being played in both innings in the semi-final or due to other circumstances, the result will be decided based on the points scored by the team in the group stage and the net run rate. If the final is not completed on the match day and the reserve day, the Champions Trophy will be shared between the two teams.
