RR vs KKR LIVE SCORE UPDATES: Match abandoned, Royals finish in third position

 

The match had the end it was expected to have since 7 pm IST onwards, The rains were never going to go away and they persisted as the game was called off and the official result stood 'match abandoned'. Courtesy of this, Rajasthan Royals will finish at the third spot and will have to fight against the Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the Eliminor to climb up the ladder toward the final. 

 

More than the rain, the Royals have themselves to blame as they failed to win even one of their last four games and as a result, despite having the same number of points as Sunrisers Hyderabad, they have to finish in the third position with a slightly inferior net run rate.
