Ahmedabad: The 63rd match of the Indian Premier League 2024 was to be played between Gujarat Titans and Kolkata Knight Riders at the Narendra Modi Cricket Stadium in Ahmedabad. But due to continuous torrential rains and bad weather, the match has not started yet. The rain is definitely stopping from time to time. But it will start again after some time. Due to this the ground is also not able to dry properly. In such a situation, it seems that this match of IPL 2024 will be canceled due to rain. This will be the first match of this season which will be canceled due to rain. However, if this match is cancelled, what impact will it have on the playoffs? Let us know.
Gujarat will be out of the playoff race as soon as the match is washed out.
Gujarat Titans, captained by Shubman Gill, is currently at 8th position with 10 points after losing 7 out of 12 matches. If this match against Kolkata gets canceled due to rain. So even after winning their last match, they will be able to reach only 13 points. At the same time, the fourth team in the top 4 also has 14 points. In such a situation, if this match is cancelled, Gujarat will be out of IPL 2024. On the other hand, KKR will not make much difference.
