threat of rain on the match

Due to the Orange Alert issued by the Meteorological Department, there are clear indications that rain can disrupt the game. If the match does not start on time or it continues to rain, the overs will be cut short. At the same time, if a game of at least 5-5 overs is not possible, then the match will be completely canceled.

What are the rules?

According to IPL rules, if a match is canceled due to rain, then both the teams are given 1 point each. But if we look at the current point table, its impact will be different on both the teams.

Who will be harmed?

Rajasthan Royals are in great form at the moment and after winning both their opening matches, they are at third position in the points table with 4 points. In such a situation, if they get only 1 point instead of 2, then it can prove to be harmful for them, because if Rajasthan wins today’s match, then it will reach the top of the points table with 6 points. At the same time, if the match is canceled due to rain, then with 5 points she will make her place in the top-2.

On the other hand, this match was an opportunity for Mumbai Indians to make a comeback. The team has played 2 matches so far, in which they have won 1 and lost 1. With 2 points, Mumbai team is at sixth position in the points table. To remain in the race for the playoffs, Mumbai needs consecutive wins. In such a situation, getting one point will not improve their situation much, but avoiding defeat will definitely be a relief for them.
