Field match may shift on reserve day

There is a high chance of rain in Melbourne. If it rains, the final match will be played on 'Reserve Day' on Monday. Actually, ICC has arranged reserve day for semi-final and final match. On the other hand, if rain disturbs even on the reserve day, then it is necessary to have a game of at least 10-10 overs for the result of the match. That is, if Pakistan and England teams play 10-10 overs in case of rain on both the days, then only the match will be decided by the Duckworth-Lewis rule.
