RR vs KKR IPL 2024 Match Highlights: Rain has once again played spoilsport, leading to the abandonment of the final group stage match. It's a disappointing end, but such is the unpredictability of the weather. Rajasthan are left in a sombre state, forced to settle for a single point, placing them third on the points table. Their lower net run rate compared to Hyderabad, who secured a victory earlier, drops them down. With four consecutive losses and now this washout, Rajasthan's confidence may waver as they prepare for the Eliminator against Bengaluru, a team in red-hot form with six consecutive wins. Similarly, Kolkata have faced bad weather in two consecutive games. Nonetheless, they remain confident and now look forward to the highly-anticipated Qualifier 1 clash against Hyderabad, promising an electrifying showdown for fans.

The Kolkata Knight Riders captain won the toss and chose to field first against the Rajasthan Royals. Get ready for a quick contest, as it's a shortened 7-over game.

Rain delays the toss in the Rajasthan Royals vs Kolkata Knight Riders match in Guwahati, with the pitch currently covered due to drizzling.

In a top-of-the-table clash that concludes the league stage of the 2024 Indian Premier League (IPL), Sanju Samson's Rajasthan Royals (RR) will aim to end their four-match losing streak against Shreyas Iyer's Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati. The significance of this match depends on the earlier game between Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) and Punjab Kings (PBKS). If SRH wins and RR loses, SRH will secure second place and qualify for the first playoff qualifier.

Currently on a four-match losing streak, RR seeks to regain momentum before the playoffs. RR bowling coach Shane Bond expressed disappointment over recent losses but emphasized the team’s strong position on the points table. "We are second even with four consecutive losses. It just takes one good game to turn things around," Bond stated, highlighting RR’s potential to be formidable opponents.

For KKR, maintaining form is crucial as they head into the playoffs. Their only non-win this month was a rain-abandoned match. Tom Kohler-Cadmore will replace Jos Buttler as RR's opener, following his debut against PBKS, aiming to display his power-hitting skills. On the KKR side, Rahmanullah Gurbaz is expected to open due to Phil Salt's absence in the playoffs.

This match not only wraps up the league stage but also sets the stage for the playoffs, with both teams looking to solidify their strategies and form.

IPL 2024, RR vs KKR IPL Live Score: Update!!
With the cut-off time for a reduced-overs match between RR and KKR being 10:56 PM IST and the toss needing to happen 15 minutes prior, the clock is definitely ticking. The ongoing rain and the need to remove covers after puddles formed eat into that timeframe. Here's hoping for a break in the weather to allow for a possible late start.
