10:23 PM IST & Local Time: There you go, folks—it’s official. The match has been abandoned due to persistent rain without a ball being bowled. The players are shaking hands, and sadly, this isn’t the restart anyone hoped for after a nine-day break in IPL 2025. A disappointing outcome for the fans, but sometimes, nature has the final say. Kolkata Knight Riders, the defending champions, have been eliminated from IPL 2025.
10:21 PM IST & Local Time: Both on-field umpires are out in the middle with umbrellas in hand while it continues to rain. We're just moments away from the official confirmation of what we’ve all been expecting.
10:16 PM IST & Local Time: We’re 40 minutes out from the cut-off time, with the toss needing to happen by 10:40 PM IST/Local Time at the latest. But as things stand, rain is still pouring in Bengaluru, making any chance of play tonight look very unlikely.
Qualification Scenarios if the game gets washed out tonight:
-KKR will be out of reckoning for a place in the playoffs.
-RCB will move to 17 points, but a win in at least one of their remaining two matches will be crucial, as 17 points might not be enough to guarantee a top-four finish.
-DC or PBKS lose tomorrow, RCB will qualify for the playoffs.

9:56 PM IST & Local Time: Nothing encouraging to report still as the rain continues steadily at the M.Chinnaswamy Stadium, and the covers remain firmly in place. We are now exactly 60 minutes away from the cut-off time for a 5-over contest, which is 10:56 PM IST/Local Time. If this downpour doesn’t ease up soon, we could be staring at an official call-off. And in that case, defending champions KKR will be officially eliminated from IPL 2025.
9:30 PM IST & Local Time: The rain remains relentless in Bengaluru tonight, with no signs of letting up. We've already lost 2 hours of play, and the cut-off for a 5-over contest is 10:56 PM IST/Local Time which is just 1 hour and 26 minutes away. While the M.Chinnaswamy Stadium boasts excellent drainage facilities, we’ll need the rain to completely stop soon for any chance of action.
9 PM IST & Local Time: The wait gets longer at the M.Chinnaswamy Stadium as rain continues to dampen hopes of any action tonight. We've been losing overs for a while now, and the clock is ticking. In case you missed it, the cut-off time for a 5-over contest is 10:56 PM IST/Local Time. Stay with us as we await further updates!
8:32 PM: The drizzle is back and it is picking up the pace. We will start losing overs in a while! The wait continues.
8:26 PM IST & Local Time: Much brighter scenes now at the M.Chinnaswamy Stadium! The rain has come to a complete halt and there's a noticeable buzz in the air. The fourth umpire is out in the middle with his umbrella closed, which is always a good sign and he's in conversation with the head of the ground staff. The groundstaff is working hard doing the mopping job with at least 3 super soppers doing the trick as well. The pitch and square remain under covers.
