Punjab Kings has the advantage at this stage 

There is no reserve day for Qualifier 2; for that reason, the opponent of RCB for the summit clash will be decided tonight. Even if the match does not take place as per the schedule, the name of the winning team will be pronounced. 

According to the rules, if the Qualifier 2 game does not conclude as per the schedule, then the higher-ranked team between these two will be directly promoted to the final. In the current scenario, Shreyas Iyer's PBKS finished their group stage as the table topper, so if the match at Ahmedabad does not take place, then Punjab will find a place in the final against Royal Challengers Bengaluru.
