GT vs RR: IPL 2026 is now towards its end. So far 7 teams have been eliminated from IPL 2026. At the same time, the team of Royal Challengers Bengaluru has made it to the finals of IPL for the second consecutive time. Qualifier 2 of IPL 2026 is to be played between the teams of Rajasthan Royals and Gujarat Titans (GT vs RR).

While the Gujarat Titans team had to face a humiliating defeat against RCB in Qualifier 1, in the Eliminator, the Rajasthan Royals team defeated the Sunrisers Hyderabad team by 47 runs. During this, Vaibhav Suryavanshi played an explosive inning of 93 runs in 29 balls.

Danger of rain looms over GT vs RR match

The weather had been clear the previous day, but on Thursday the weather seemed to be changing suddenly. There is a possibility of rain on the match day i.e. Friday also. According to the Meteorological Department, heavy rain is forecast on May 29. Along with hailstorm, there is also a possibility of thunderstorm and strong winds. In such a situation, the game may be disrupted due to bad weather.

The face-to-face between Gujarat Titans and Rajasthan Royals is to be played on May 29 at the Maharaja Yadvendra International Cricket Stadium in Mullanpur. Last night, while Rajasthan Royals had scored 243 runs against Sunrisers Hyderabad, Gujarat Titans were seen struggling to touch the 200-run mark against RCB.

GT vs RR match canceled due to rain, this team will get the ticket for the final

Weather can prove to be a deciding factor in the knockout match. If the match is canceled due to rain then Gujarat Titans will directly reach the finals. Actually, BCCI has not fixed any ‘reserve day’ (extra day) for any playoff match of IPL 2026 except the final.

This means that if the second qualifier is cancelled, there will be no distribution of points between the two teams, nor will the match be postponed to the next day due to rain or unfit playing conditions. In such a situation, Gujarat will benefit.

The reason behind this is that in the points table of IPL 2026, after the league matches, Gujarat Titans team was at number 2 with 18 points, while Rajasthan Royals team was at number 4 with 16 points. In such a situation, if the GT vs RR match is canceled due to rain, then on May 31, Gujarat team will be seen playing the final against RCB in Ahmedabad.
