Joint winners

We might see a situation where both Australia and South Africa are crowned champions.

How is it possible?

So how can this actually happen?

Lack of result

If the game ends in a draw despite the reserve day or is abandoned due to rain or is tied, then both sides shall share the trophy.

Not the first time

It shall not be the first time that an ICC title has been shared.

Only time it has happened

The 2002 Champions Trophy was shared between India and Sri Lanka because rain prevented a result in the final despite a reserve day.
