Chennai Super Kings have 14 points from 13 games and they are on the third position on the points table. If the RCB vs CSK IPL 2024 match ends in a washout, then points will be shared between both the teams, each getting a point. Which means, CSK will then move to 15 points. More specifically, they will move to beyond 14-point mark which is the ceiling for DC and LSG.

For RCB, a washout will mean the end of their campaign. Shared points will take them to 13 point mark as they are on 12 points from 13 games. Already there are five teams with 14 or more points. Having a match against CSK not only helps RCB to get two points but also stops CSK from getting any more. So a scenario of washout will not be beneficial for RCB. They would want even an curtailed game to force a result.
