The rain is not leaving the Kolkata Knight Riders behind. After the Gujarat Titans match, the Rajasthan match could not be played due to rain. The match could not be started even though it was tossed somehow. It may rain in the qualifiers. KKR face SRH in the first qualifier.
No matter how much modern technology comes, nothing can stop nature’s ravages. So the rain is repeatedly putting a paw on the multi-crore tournament IPL. On this day, Rajasthan Royals and Kolkata Knight Riders match did not play a single ball due to rain. Although the toss was tossed at 10:30, rain started three minutes before the start of the game, due to which the match had to be cancelled. This time, it is raining in the playoff matches as well.
The group stage of IPL is over. Qualifier will start now. Kolkata Knight Riders and Sunrisers Hyderabad will play the first qualifier. Sunrisers beat Punjab Kings by four wickets to secure the first qualifier against Kolkata. On the other hand, Royal Challengers Bangalore and Rajasthan Royals will play the eliminator. However, this is the first qualifier and eliminator raining eyes. What will happen if it rains in both matches?
The first qualifier and eliminator match will be played at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. There will be two matches on 21st and 22nd respectively. And according to the forecast of the Meteorological Department, there will be rain in Ahmedabad on both these days. In the past, matches between Gujarat and Kolkata were abandoned due to rain in this city. What will happen if it rains in the playoff match?
Kolkata Knight Riders come down to play, meaning rain will put a stop to the match. With this, their two matches were not played due to rain. Once they could not get down to Kalakata due to rain. If it rains in the first qualifier, will the match be canceled again? Now this question is circulating. Check out what the rules are-
One day has been kept as reserve in case of rain in the first qualifier and eliminator. That is the 23rd. That is, if the match is canceled due to rain on the 21st and 22nd, then those two matches will be played on the 23rd. And even if a match is lost, it will be played on the 23rd.
If there is no match even on 23rd then the team which is on top of the points table will go to the final. In this case, it is a win-win situation for Kolkata Knight Riders. Although the management is trying to have a match of at least five overs, the forecast says otherwise. Now the supporters are looking at the sky.
