IPL 2024: What Happens If Rain Washes Out SRH vs GT Game? RCB, CSK Qualification Scenarios

The 66th match of the IPL 2024 between Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) and Gujarat Titans (GT) at Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium is under threat due to rain. With dark clouds looming and showers lashing the city, the possibility of a washout seems high.

Currently, the Pat Cummins-led side sits comfortably in fourth place with 14 points from 12 games, needing just a win to secure their playoff berth. Gujarat Titans, on the other hand, have already been eliminated from the tournament.

What happens if the match is indeed called off due to rain?

Washout Scenario:

If the SRH vs GT match ends in a washout, both teams will be awarded one point each. This would be a huge boost for Sunrisers Hyderabad, as they would automatically qualify for the playoffs with 15 points from 13 games.

RCB, CSK Playoffs Qualification Scenarios

However, the washout would have a significant impact on the race for the remaining playoff spots. Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and Chennai Super Kings (CSK), currently battling for the crucial fourth spot, would find themselves in a win-or-go-home situation. Their upcoming clash on Saturday in Bengaluru would become a virtual knockout match.
