Extra hours for matches in case of rain

The IPL's technical committee has decided to add an extra hour, if necessary, to complete the remaining league games in case of rain during the latter stages of the tournament. The semi-finals and final will have two extra hours but will not have reserve days.

The early stages of the tournament were affected by bad weather with two games being washed out and a few others being decided by the Duckworth-Lewis method.

The IPL technical committee also decided that a ball will be considered 'dead' if a batsman happens to hit the fly-camera which travels over the ground on cables suspended overhead.
