What Happens if GT vs KKR IPL 2024 Match Is Washed Out Due to Rain in Ahmedabad? Here's How It Will Affect Gujarat Titans' Playoff Hopes

The Gujarat Titans vs Kolkata Knight Riders match in IPL 2024 has not resumed yet due to heavy rainfall in Ahmedabad. Visuals emerged on social media of the Narendra Modi Stadium under covers and with time, the rain has intensified, which has cast a big question mark on the clash. Kolkata Knight Riders head into this contest on the back of four back-to-back wins and sit firmly at the top of the IPL 2024 points table. The same cannot be said about the Gujarat Titans. After three consecutive losses, Gujarat Titans managed to bounce back in their last match against Chennai Super Kings at this very venue. Ahmedabad Weather Updates Live, GT vs KKR IPL 2024.

Rain has previously affected just one match in IPL 2024 and interestingly it involved the Kolkata Knight Riders. It was KKR's last match at the Eden Gardens against Mumbai Indians, a contest which resumed after a long rain delay and was eventually reduced to 16 overs-a-side. The Shreyas Iyer-led side came out on top in the end by 18 runs and that win ensured that they confirmed a spot in the IPL 2024 playoffs, becoming the first team to do so. But what happens if the GT vs KKR contest is washed out tonight? IPL 2024 Points Table Updated With Net Run Rate.

What Happens if GT vs KKR Match in IPL 2024 is Washed Out Due to Rain?

If the current situation is anything to go by, the rain has only strengthened, something which is not a welcome sight for fans as well as Gujarat Titans. As we know and has happened in the past, a washed out match results in both teams sharing one point each. If the GT vs KKR match is washed out, the both teams will split points. If it eventually happens, then Kolkata Knight Riders will get to 19 points, something which will seal for them a spot in the top two on the IPL 2024 points table. Teams finishing in top two on the IPL 2024 points table get two chances at making it to the finals and hence, Shreyas Iyer and his team will have that privilege.

Unfortunately, it will be curtains for Gujarat Titans who will be eliminated if the match is washed out. Shubman Gill and co currently have 10 points from 12 matches and one point will take their tally to 11. Even if they win their next match, against Sunrisers Hyderabad on May 16, their tally will be 13, which will not be enough for them to seal a spot in the top four with several teams on 14 points already.
