So, what happens if the RCB vs GT game in Bengaluru is washed out?
Mumbai Indians (MI) are currently playing Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in their final league game at the Wankhede Stadium. MI are placed sixth in the standings with 14 points, with a NRR of -0.128, while RCB, occupying the fourth place currently, too have 14 points with a better NRR of +0.180.
For RCB to qualify, they will have to hope MI lose against SRH, and RCB win against GT on Sunday. However, should rain play spoilsport and wash out the RCB-GT game, RCB would advance to the playoffs if MI lose to SRH. Should MI beat SRH and RCB-GT game is washed out, then MI advances to the playoffs with 16 points as opposed to RCB’s 15.
Mumbai Indians would have to win big over Sunrisers Hyderabad in order to qualify for the playoffs and hope RCB drop points against GT.
According to accuweather, thunderstorms are forecast for the evening, so there might be interruptions during the game.
RCB have recently registered two morale-boosting wins over RR and SRH to take their points tally to 14.
