Both the teams, i.e Gujarat Titans and Rajasthan Royals took part in the pre-gam practice ahead of the much-anticipated encounter. As per the forecast, there is a 65% chance of rain in the evening and this can surely cast a shadow of a doubt if the game will be hampered or not.

However, with Ganguly inspecting the pitch and taking full control of the situation, it can be assumed that all safety precautions and measures will be taken to preserve the ground and the pitch in case there is a delay in the game, owing to rain. In the worst scenario, if the game gets canceled due to rain, then Gujarat Titans will progress to the finals owing to a better standing in the points table.
