There is a rain crisis looming over IPL 2024. So far this season, a total of 3 matches have been canceled due to rain. In such a situation, even before the eliminator match between RCB and Rajasthan, a question is arising in the minds of crores of fans that if this match is also canceled due to rain, then who will remain in this race for the trophy and who will be eliminated from this race? Will be out.
Let us tell you that till IPL 2023, there was no reserve day for the playoff matches, it was kept only for the final of IPL.

Who will benefit Bengaluru or Rajasthan
Let us assume that the weather is not cooperating even on the reserve day, then the umpire will try to conduct matches of at least 5 overs. If even this is not possible, then a super over will be conducted. But if the match is not played even on Super Over, then which team will play the qualifiers, it will be decided on the points table. The team that remains on top in the points table will be sent to the qualifiers and the team that remains on the bottom will be out of the playoffs.
RCB is going to suffer a lot due to this rule. If the match comes to be cancelled, then Bengaluru’s card will be wiped out, because Bengaluru is at fourth place in the points table, while Rajasthan is at third place. In case the match is cancelled, Rajasthan will play the qualifier match.
