Is having a reserve day for a major knockout match a reasonable ask?

The Reserve Day concept has been in Cricket for quite some time. This is to ensure an extra day is given to matches that need a final or knockout result possible and that have been washed away by rain or another calamity on the scheduled date. Now the question is, is reserve day needed?

Yes! Reserve Day is a must to determine a result in crucial matches.
Teams fight hard to reach the finals. A reserve day ensures a fair result is determined and saved from a tie because of rain the previous day. So in my opinion, it is for the best.

No. Reserve Day is not required. It takes away both the team momentum in case of a washout the previous day and is tiring for everyone involved.

Reserve Day is a good concept. I believe it provides a fair outcome on matches that are unfortunately washed away due to rain.
