A Super Over could decide IPL 15's champions should rain gods play spoilsport and no play is possible in regulation time.
If not even an over a side is possible, the league standing will take precedence and will decide the winner, according to an IPL briefing note.
This will also apply to the Qualifier 1, Eliminator, Qualifier 2, which do not have reserve days.
May 30 has been kept aside as a reserve day for the summit clash, which will begin at 8pm.
With the IPL moving to Kolkata for the playoffs and inclement weather forecast for the city, the IPL has issued certain guidelines in case of rain-interrupted games.
While Gujarat Titans take on Rajasthan Royals in Qualifier 1 on Tuesday, Lucknow Super Giants will play Royal Challengers Bangalore at the same venue the next day in the Eliminator.
The second Qualifier and the final are slated to be played in Ahmedabad on Friday and Sunday respectively.
