IPL 2024: If KKR vs SRH 1st Qualifier Is Washed Out, Kolkata Will Confirm a Final Spot!

The first qualifier match of IPL 2024 will be played between Kolkata Knight Riders and Sunrisers Hyderabad on May 21 at 7:30 PM at Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad.

KKR and Sunrisers, who reached here after traveling long kilometers, will not get much time to adapt to the conditions. Both of them played their last league match on Sunday only. Although Sunrisers defeated Punjab by playing the entire match, the match between KKR and Rajasthan Royals could not be played due to rain. KKR last played a full match on 11 May. Before the rain disruption, KKR had won four consecutive matches, the last two were lost due to rain.

In the IPL points table, Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) team is at the top position with 20 points with 9 wins from 14 matches. Whereas, if we talk about Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), the team is in second place with 8 wins in 14 matches. Because of this, the first qualifier match will be played between these two top 2 teams.

Weather Forecast of Ahmedabad

According to AccuWeather, the temperature in Ahmedabad on May 21, 2024, will be around 45 degrees, but due to high humidity (44%), the feeling of heat will be higher. The chances of rain are negligible. In such a situation, fans can see the entire 40-over match.

What will be the scenario if rain cancels the match?

Taking the previous washout matches into consideration if something like that happens in this match as well and rain affects the outcome of the Qualifier 1 match between KKR and SRH, then the game protocol comes into play. In these cases, the team with the higher standing in the league stage points table will progress directly to the IPL final. Given KKR’s position at the top of the table, they would secure their spot in the final. Team Kolkata will go directly to the Finals. On the other hand team Hyderabad has to wait to face the winner of the Eliminator Match and win the Q2 match to secure a place in the finals.
