IPL 2025 | RCB vs KKR LIVE WEATHER UPDATES: What happens if the match is abandoned?

What happens if points are shared tonight - 

KKR will be knocked out of playoff contention. If there are no further rain-affected games, RCB can still miss out on the playoffs even with 17 points—but only under a specific scenario: GT and MI must finish with 18 or more points, and a three-way tie occurs between RCB, PBKS, and DC. This would then come down to Net Run Rate (NRR). For that to happen, both PBKS and DC need to win their next matches, DC must also defeat PBKS later, and MI must win both remaining fixtures. RCB currently have the strongest NRR among the three, but the margin isn’t too wide.

RCB will secure a playoff spot if either PBKS or DC lose their upcoming match.

IPL 2025 | RCB vs KKR LIVE UPDATES: KKR's big hitter excited to be back!

Andre Russell ahead of the clash: It’s a very good feeling to be a part of this amazing tournament and quick turnaround for us after a week or so, we are here, excited to play some games. (On the break before the restart) It breaks our momentum but we are professionals and we are used to travelling from one country to another and we are used to play the next day so mentally I know how to switch on and to switch off for the last couple of days, it helps us mentally and it helps me as an individual to reflect and take a break. But, the moment I came to practice two days ago and start hitting and making sure the body is up and running again, it has to do with a strong mindset. It’s easy when you have the mindset, you might be coming off two losses, we are made for this, we look towards the future and think about the next game coming up. We have the mindset to be on the par when the team needs us, we as a team are up for the challenge. A few games before the break, I find my mojo and I have been getting opportunities to bat a bit earlier and once I bat earlier, with the batters behind coming me, I know I can be dangerous. Yesterday in practice, I hit the ball very well, I hit two out of the park. There might be some rain around but we are prepared to play our best cricket, we definitely need these two points tonight and hopefully, we will come out with a win tonight.
