Join UsThe much-anticipated RCB vs. CSK match in IPL 2024 has just begun at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium. Royal Challengers Bengaluru openers Faf du Plessis and Virat Kohli gave their team a flying start, scoring 31 runs in the first three overs.
However, rain has interrupted the proceedings, putting a halt to what promised to be an exciting powerplay. The match has not resumed yet, and fans are on edge.
RCB supporters are particularly anxious as their team faces elimination if the match results in a no result. For CSK fans, the rain break isn’t as concerning. Even a shortened match would complicate RCB’s chances due to net run-rate calculations.
Cut-Off Time for a Five-Over Match
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 for even a five-over contest, the game will be called off.
Minimum Overs for a Result
CSK, having won the toss, chose to bat second. For a result to be declared, at least five overs must be bowled in the second innings.
If rain interrupts when CSK’s fifth over is midway, the Duckworth-Lewis method will not be used to determine a winner. Therefore, RCB fans will be hoping for clear skies once the match resumes.
This high-stakes match is crucial for both teams, with playoff spots hanging in the balance. Stay tuned to see if the weather permits the game to continue or if rain will play spoilsport in this thrilling encounter.
