That's it from our live coverage of this fixture. This is Mohammad Anab signing off on behalf of my co-commentator Abhishek Sharma and our scorer/analyst Paras Yadav. Cheers.
Now, with the league stage done, we will have a day's break before we move on to the playoffs. On Thursday, Meerut Mavericks and Lucknow Falcons will battle it out in Qualifier 1 in the afternoon while Kashi Rudras and Noida Kings will play the Eliminator in the evening.
No play was possible in this game as the rain had the final say. Kanpur Superstars and Gorakhpur Lions will get a point each. This will be the end of the league stage phase in UP T20 2026. The fifth-placed Lions finish their campaign with three wins and seven points on the table. Meanwhile, Kanpur finish at the bottom of the points table with five points and two wins from ten matches.
10:49 PM IST & Local Time: The inevitable has happened, and the MATCH has been ABANDONED as the rain had the final say, so the last league match of the UP T20 2026 between Kanpur Superstars and Gorakhpur Lions is washed out without any action.
9:55 PM IST & Local Time: The rain persists, and we might be heading towards a washout. But we still wait for any official update. There is no movement on the ground.
9:15 PM IST & Local time: The intensity of the rain remains steady, and the covers are intact on the ground as well. The chances of the play getting started are bleak.
8:27 PM IST, Local Time: Nothing new to update! It continues to drizzle at the Green Park and half of the ground, including the pitch, is under the covers. However, the intensity of the rain is not too high.
7:51 PM IST & Local Time: We have to wait for a longer delay now, as the rain had caught some intensity at the Green Park and the ground is getting covered.
7:06 PM IST, Local Time: The toss of this game has been delayed as the afternoon game of the day is still running and has three more overs left in it.
We are down to the last league match of UP T20 2026, where Gorakhpur Lions will be squaring off against Kanpur Superstars, and this game basically is a dead rubber as Kashi Rudras in the afternoon fixture won their last match and booked their spot in the playoffs. So with that, all 4 teams have been confirmed, but both teams will be eyeing to close out their campaign on a high.
This is the second time these two teams will be meeting each other, and the first time it was the Lions that got the better of Superstars to win the match. Both sides are entering this clash after losing their last encounters against the same opponent, Lucknow Falcons. So it will be interesting to watch out for the approach of these two sides in their group stage matches.
