The proceedings of the last match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) between Rajasthan Royals (RR) and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in Guwahati have been disrupted due to rain. The toss was delayed due to rain and RR needed a win to seal a top-two finish, which would give them two chances to reach the IPL 2024 final. Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) defeated Punjab Kings (PBKS) in the first game on Sunday and temporarily occupied the second position in the points table. (IPL 2024 points table)

SRH have 17 points from 14 matches, while RR have 16 points from 13 matches. In case of a washout, both RR and KKR will be awarded one point each.

While KKR have already secured the top spot, a draw will not be enough for RR as they are expected to finish second on the points table. RR is also facing defeat in four consecutive matches.

SRH have 17 points and their NRR is currently +0.41 while RR have +0.27 with 16 points on the table. The washout means RR will have to settle for third place.

In that case, they will face RCB in the eliminator on Wednesday, while KKR and SRH will fight for a place in the final in Qualifier 1 on Tuesday.

In the upset between RR and KKR, the Sanju Samson-led side won by two wickets. RR and KKR have played against each other 29 times in the IPL, with both teams winning 14 matches each and one game being abandoned.

The top two teams in the points table will play in Qualifier 1 and the winner of that match to be held in Ahmedabad on Tuesday will directly enter the final to be held in Chennai on Sunday. The teams finishing third and fourth in the table will play an eliminator in Ahmedabad on Wednesday and the winner of that match will face the losing team of Qualifier 1 in Qualifier 2 in Chennai on Friday.

Meanwhile, the final will be held in Chepauk on Sunday.
