As predicted, the toss for the much-anticipated Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) versus Punjab Kings (PBKS) match has been delayed due to persistent rain in Bengaluru. Fans who were eagerly awaiting this thrilling contest are now left waiting, as the rain seems to have disrupted the evening’s plans.
According to Accuweather, rain was always on the cards for Bengaluru, and unfortunately, those forecasts have materialized. The ground staff has been working tirelessly to cover the playing area completely, ensuring minimal damage to the surface. However, the possibility of a washout remains if the rain doesn’t subside.
If the RCB vs PBKS match ends up being abandoned, it will be a major disappointment for both teams, who currently occupy spots in the upper half of the points table. Despite the Chinnaswamy Stadium being equipped with one of the finest drainage systems globally, prolonged rainfall could still lead to a no-result.
In such a scenario, both teams would be awarded one point each, a situation that could influence the standings significantly. This missed opportunity to gain full points could be a setback in the closely contested playoff race.
