If the match starts on time and there are no weather interventions then a full 20-overs per side contest will take place. If the weather does interfere then also the match can happen with truncated overs basis time bound rules.
Just like any other IPL fixture, reserve day will also have a total of 3 hours and 20 minutes of time available, with additional 2 hours of play will be available as maximum extension.

Yes. If weather intervenes and if a 5 over a side game is possible (even on a reserve day) then result of the same will determine who wins the IPL 2023 title.
A five-overs per side match can start by latest 23:56 with a scheduled finish at 00:50.
If the game starts on time at 19:30 and the first innings is completed, considering if rain prevents any play once five overs of the second innings is completed then the result will be decided under the DLS method.

The cut off time for a minimum 5 overs a side match is 23.56 on Monday. However, if the match is further delayed, then the result will be decided by a Super Over which needs to start latest by 00:50.
In the worst-case scenario where not even a Super Over can take place then Gujarat Titans will be declared as IPL 2023 Champions as they finished higher in the table.
