The match between Rajasthan Royals and Kolkata Knight Riders was abandoned due to rain at Barsapara Cricket Stadium, Guwahati.
The clash between Rajasthan Royals and Kolkata Knight Riders at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati was marred by rain, leading to an unfortunate abandonment. Despite KKR captain Shreyas Iyer winning the toss, proceedings were delayed by approximately 3 hours and 30 minutes due to inclement weather. Consequently, the match was curtailed to a mere 7 overs-a-side encounter.
Opting to bowl first after the delayed toss, KKR hoped to capitalize on the shortened format. However, their plans were thwarted as rain returned, ultimately leading to the abandonment of the match. This no-result scenario affected the standings, with Rajasthan Royals securing the third spot in the points table. As a result of this outcome, Rajasthan Royals are now slated to clash with Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the Eliminator round of the IPL 2024 playoffs.
