Persistent rain in Guwahati has delayed the start of the IPL 2026 match between the Rajasthan Royals and Royal Challengers Bengaluru. The match officials have rescheduled the toss to 8 PM IST in hopes of ensuring a full 20-over contest at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium. The rain forced the ground staff to keep covers on the pitch and outfield, impacting the match's start time. According to the India Meteorological Department, Guwahati is expected to have a partly cloudy sky with a strong chance of rain and thunderstorms throughout the evening. Both teams are currently unbeaten, with the Rajasthan Royals sitting at the top of the table with three wins, while RCB is in third place with two victories. If the weather permits, one of these teams will lose their unbeaten status during this crucial clash.
