According to the playing conditions applicable to the Tournament, if no play was possible at all—or in the event of a tie, no result, or game abandonment—both teams would be declared co-winners of the tournament. However, around 5:45 PM, the officiating team determined that the game could proceed at the latest possible start time of 6:17 PM. They informed the players of this and that the toss would be conducted at 6:00 PM. ​ Despite assurances from the umpires and match referee that the conditions were safe for play, both captains failed to be present for the toss, allowing time to elapse past the latest starting point. As a result, both teams failed to take the field, effectively refusing to play. This resulted in a double forfeit, with no champion being declared.
