Guwahati Weather Live Updates
Ahead of Sunday’s game, which is also the last league match of IPL 2024, there had been an alert issued about rain, thunderstorms, and gusty winds affecting the clash between the top two teams on the points table.
If the rain relents and the match happens, then a win for RR, currently on a four-match losing streak, over table-toppers, KKR will guarantee them a top-two finish, especially with Sunrisers Hyderabad now at the second spot after chasing down 215 against Punjab Kings in Hyderabad.
The top two teams in the points table will play in Qualifier 1, and the winner of that clash in Ahmedabad on Tuesday will directly enter the final on Sunday in Chennai. The teams placed third and fourth in the tally will play the eliminator at Ahmedabad on Wednesday, and the winner from that clash will face the losing team of Qualifier 1 in Qualifier 2 at Chennai on Friday.
