Sunrisers 128-7 (20 ovs) vs KKR | Scorecard


  • If play starts by 11.52pm, KKR gets full 20 overs to bat
  • If play starts by 12.58 am, KKR's target reduces to 41 in 5 overs
  • The cut-off time for the 'Super Over' in case there is no further play is 1.20am

Meanwhile, it is raining heavily at the M Chinnaswamy stadium in Bengaluru which means that the start of the KKR innings is delayed.

If there is no further play possible then Sunrisers will be declared as the winners on the basis on having finished third in the league standings ahead of KKR, who took fourth place.

But that is still a long way as the IPL Playing conditions for play-off matches mentions that 1.02 am is the cut-off time incase of a 5-over innings. And given the new drainage facility at the M Chinnaswamy stadium, which will ensure that the match resumes in around 15 minutes once the rain stops, it will need the rain to continue all night for the match to be called off.

Incase, their innings is reduced to 5 overs, KKR's target as the per the Duckworth-Lewis calculation is 41.

However, if it is not possible to get the KKR innings underway then 1.20am is the cut-off time to conduct the Super Over which will decide the winner, who play Mumbai Indians in Qualifier 2 to decide who advances to the final to take on Rising Pune Supergiant.

Stay tuned!
