10 Apr
Summary
- Guwahati faces 56% chance of rain for RR vs RCB IPL 2026 match.
- Both RR and RCB have maintained an unbeaten record this season.
- Past RR vs RCB encounters have seen three 'no-results' due to weather.
The IPL 2026 encounter between Rajasthan Royals and Royal Challengers Bengaluru in Guwahati on Friday faces a strong possibility of rain, with forecasts indicating a 56% chance of showers. This match is particularly anticipated as both teams have maintained an unbeaten streak throughout the current season. Their previous game against Mumbai Indians was shortened to 11 overs due to heavy rain, highlighting the unpredictable weather in Guwahati.
The ACA Stadium pitch is expected to favor batsmen, potentially leading to a high-scoring game if conditions permit. Historically, RR and RCB matches have seen three instances of 'no-results' due to weather disruptions. RCB holds a slight edge in head-to-head statistics with 17 wins out of 34 matches, and they defeated RR in both encounters during the IPL 2025 season. With no reserve day for league stage matches in IPL 2026, any abandonment would result in both teams receiving one point. A minimum of 5 overs per side is required for a match to be constituted, with the latest possible start for a 5-over game being 10:50 PM IST.
