Join UsThe highly anticipated RCB vs CSK match in IPL 2024 has just begun at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium. Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s openers, Faf du Plessis and Virat Kohli, started with a bang, racing to 31 runs in just three overs.
However, just as Du Plessis and Kohli seemed poised to dominate the powerplay, rain intervened, halting the proceedings. The match has not yet resumed, causing concern among RCB fans.
For RCB, a no-result would mean elimination from the competition, while CSK fans remain relatively calm as a shortened game still favors them due to net run-rate implications.
The crucial cut-off time to begin even a five-over match is 10:55 PM IST. If the ground is not ready by 10:56 PM IST, the game will be called off. This cut-off time is pivotal in determining whether the match will continue or be abandoned.
How Many Overs Must CSK Bat for a Result in IPL 2024 Match Against RCB?
Chennai Super Kings won the toss and opted to bat second. For a result to be declared, at least five overs must be bowled in the second innings. Even if rain disrupts the match during the fifth over of CSK’s innings, the Duckworth-Lewis method will not be applied.
RCB fans are hoping that once play resumes, the rain stays away to ensure a fair contest. The weather conditions and these cut-off times are now critical in deciding the fate of this high-stakes game.
Stay tuned to see if the rain relents and allows this crucial IPL 2024 match to reach its conclusion.
