RR vs KKR: Rain disrupts final league match
Rain in Guwahati kept the hosts, Rajasthan Royals, from finishing in the top two in the IPL 2024 league, RR vs KKR.
Around 10:50 p.m. local time, the game was called off without a ball being played.
On Sunday night, hosts Rajasthan Royals and league leaders KKR tied with a point each.RR finished third in the league with 17 points, having lost four games in a row.
In a seven-overs-a-side game, KKR won the toss and chose to play first, but rain came again and the game had to be called off. Because of this performance, SRH moved up to second place with 17 points and a higher NRR than Rajasthan Royals.
Sunrisers Hyderabad also had 17 points after chasing down 215 against a Punjab Kings team that was very short-handed earlier in the day.
Nonetheless, they stayed in second place because they had a better net run rate.

SRH vs KKR playoff preview, due to the washed out RR vs KKR.
Now, Pat Cummins’ SRH will play the top-ranked Kolkata Knight Riders in the first playoff on May 21 in Ahmedabad.
The third-placed RR will play the highly-confident RCB in the Eliminator on May 22 in Ahmedabad. This team is on a six-game winning streak.
KKR’s players may have to come out of nowhere in the playoffs. Since their last two league games were called off before a ball was played.
Especially Rahmanullah Gurbaz, who could replace Phil Salt but hasn’t played in an IPL game yet. He last played with the bat in mid-March, against Afghanistan.
Royals are also worried about their foreign players in the same way. At first, their scorer Shimron Hetmyer was thought to be healthy enough to play on Monday. But he didn’t make it to the starting lineup or the Impact substitutes bench.
RR captain Sanju Samson said that they had to make some last-minute changes to their team.
His last game was on May 2, when he and Rovman Powell failed to finish a tight chase against SRH.
Tom Kohler-Cadmore, who is kind of an alternative for Jos Buttler, had a rough start to the IPL. On May 15, he scored 18 runs off of 23 balls against Punjab Kings in Guwahati, where it was much drier.

Weather’s impact on teams
As of 10:45 p.m. local time, the Guwahati field was covered for most of Monday evening.
The rain stopped for a short time so that the toss could be made for a seven-over shootout.
The rain came back quickly after KKR won the toss and decided to bowl, though, making the end of the league phase wet.
