IPL Playing Conditions:
-- A playoff match can start as late as 9.40pm without the number of overs being reduced (10 minute interval, time-outs retained).
-- The number of overs in the playoff match may, if necessary, be reduced so that each side has the opportunity to bat for 5 overs.
-- The latest that a five overs per side match can start is 11.56pm (10 minute interval, no timeouts) with a scheduled finish of 12.50am.
-- In the event that it is not possible to schedule a 5 over match to complete by the end of the extra time, the teams will, if conditions permit, play a Super Over to determine the winner. This means that the pitch and ground must be ready for play so that the Super Over can start at the latest by 12.50am.
-- In the event that it is not possible to start the Super Over, the team that finished highest in the league table after the 70 matches of the regular season shall be declared the winner.
