IPL 2024 is counting days for the final day. After completing the group stage, teams are eying the playoff stage. On May 21, Kolkata Knight Riders and Sunrisers Hyderabad will face each other at the qualifier 1. The Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad is all set to organize the exciting clash. But rain is a serious concern as it spoiled three games this season. If rain interrupts the game, there are some ways out to one of the finalists of the IPL 2024.Â
KKR vs SRH Qualifier 1:
The stage is set for a thrilling showdown as SRH and KKR gear up to clash in Qualifier 1 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on May 21, Tuesday. However, all eyes eagerly await the weather forecast for Ahmedabad on match day, adding an element of suspense to the high-octane encounter.
KKR enters the fray after a prolonged hiatus, having faced back-to-back washouts in their previous fixtures, including their last league game against Rajasthan Royals. Yet, fueled by mentor Gautam Gambhir‘s return and their bowlers’ consistent performance, KKR exudes confidence.
 Meanwhile, SRH, under the leadership of Pat Cummins, rides the wave of winning momentum following a decisive victory over Punjab Kings in their last home game. Despite their recent success, they brace themselves for a formidable challenge against table-toppers KKR, setting the stage for an electrifying battle on the cricket field.
Rain Interruption is a Concern:
The IPL 2024 has seen a lot of magic on the field. Some field efforts caught attention from some batting excellence to some unbelievable bowling spells. Along with some legends of the game, some youngsters caught the attention with their excellence. But between all these another major concern already raised eyebrows.
Rain has become a big concern. In the last eight matches, three games have been cancelled. Gujarat Titans missed their last two matches due to the rain interruption. Kolkata also missed their last two matches due to that concern,
What if the Rain Interrupted the Game?
According to weather forecasts, there’s no rain expected during the KKR vs. SRH match, but dew might make the ball slippery in the second innings due to humidity. The Narendra Modi Stadium’s good batting pitch suggests another exciting match.
However, there’s no backup day for the game. If rain interferes and the match is washed out, the team with more points from the league stage will advance to the final. With KKR boasting 20 points from 14 matches and SRH with 17 points from the same number of games, KKR would secure a direct spot in the IPL 2024 final if the match is abandoned. As everything is uncertain right now, fans are anticipating a thrilling clash.Â
