The crunch tie between Punjab Kings (PBKS) and Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) has been thrown into disarray by a hailstorm during the first innings. With both teams desperately needing a win to stay in playoff contention, fans are anxiously waiting to see if rain will wash out their hopes altogether.
Both PBKS and RCB to get eliminated if the match gets washed out
A loss for either PBKS or RCB would result in their elimination. However, even a washout with a point shared wouldn’t guarantee survival. Both teams currently sit on 8 points, and with only three games remaining, a single point wouldn’t be enough. Even winning their remaining matches would only take them to 13 points, and the playoff picture already looks bleak.
CSK, LSG, and DC are all breathing down their necks with 12 points each. It’s almost certain that at least one of these teams will cross the 13-point mark, effectively knocking both PBKS and RCB out of the running.
