Bengaluru Weather Report
However, given the forecast for rain this evening, there is a good probability that the game may start later than scheduled or might even be called off. According to the reputable weather website AccuWeather, rain is quite likely to start falling in this South Indian city around the afternoon.
Around 4 PM (local time) on Sunday, the chance of rain is predicted to be around 50% for the first time. At the time of the coin toss, or 7:00 PM, it is further predicted that the number would rise to 65%. Additionally, it is anticipated to be steady between 9:00 and 11:00 PM before declining.
In such a case, the toss and the scheduled start time of the game might potentially be moved back, making it the sixth game of the season to experience the worst weather. The IPL’s final league game might end late into the night as the rain likelihood will drop to less than 30% after midnight.
What if the match is called off?
If rain does really fall on the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium and the game is called off, RCB and GT will each receive one point. RCB’s total will rise to 15 after this. But that won’t guarantee their qualification. If Mumbai Indians defeat Sunrisers Hyderabad, they will surpass RCB in the top 4 by with 16 points, securing their spot in the playoffs. Notably, GT and the Chennai Super Kings have secured spots in the top 2 while Lucknow Super Giants have advanced into the playoffs.
