In a massive unfortunate news coming from Guwahati's Barsapara Cricket Stadium, Match 70 of IPL 2024 between Rajasthan Royals (RR) and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) is set to be called off without a ball being bowled.

If it remains, Rajasthan Royals, who won seven out of their first eight matches, must play Eliminator instead of Qualifier 1 in the ongoing edition's play-offs.


Watch - Guwahati's Current Weather 

After Sunrisers Hyderabad earlier defeated Punjab Kings by four wickets in Hyderabad, the Pat Cummins-led side moved up to second on the points table with 17 points, while the NRR stood at +0.414. Rajasthan, on the other hand, will have the same number of points if the KKR match gets abandoned, although their NRR (+0.273), which was significantly reduced due to their four losses on the bounce before coming to this fixture, will force them to stay in third place.

However, KKR won’t be affected at all due to wash-out, although they would have loved to be in action against Rajasthan just before the playoffs. They won’t have the services of Phil Salt any longer, and the Gautam Gambhir-led think tank would love to see his out-and-out replacement Rahmanullah Gurbaz’s performance before they head into next round.

Update: However, situation improved drastically with time, and hence, match turned out to be a seven-over-per side after more than three hours of waiting.
