Join UsThe highly anticipated IPL 2024 match between Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and Chennai Super Kings (CSK) kicked off just moments ago at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium. RCB openers Faf du Plessis and Virat Kohli gave their team a flying start, scoring 31 runs in just three overs.
However, just as Du Plessis and Kohli looked set to dominate the powerplay, rain interrupted the proceedings. The match is currently on hold, much to the concern of RCB fans.
RCB supporters have reason to worry as their team faces elimination if the match ends in a no result. In contrast, CSK fans might not mind the rain break as even a shortened game complicates things for Bengaluru, particularly regarding the net run-rate scenario.
The cut-off time to start a five-over match is 10:55 PM IST. If the ground isn’t ready by 10:56 PM IST, the game will be called off.
How Many Overs Must CSK Bat for a Result?
Chennai Super Kings won the toss and chose to bat second. For a result to be declared, at least five overs must be bowled in the second innings. If rain interrupts during CSK’s fifth over, the D/L method will not be used to determine a winner. Therefore, RCB fans are hoping for clear skies once the match resumes.
As fans wait anxiously, the looming question remains: will the rain stay away long enough for the match to reach a decisive conclusion?
