What if GT vs MI match is washed out?

As per IPL rules, if the Eliminator match is abandoned due to rain and no result is possible, the team that finished higher in the league stage points table will advance to the next round.

In this case, Gujarat Titans, who finished third, will move forward. Mumbai Indians, who ended the league phase in fourth place, will be knocked out of the tournament without a ball being bowled, if rain prevents any play.

Big day for MI and GT

With the weather forecast uncertain, both teams - and fans - will be hoping for clear skies. A washout would mean heartbreak for Mumbai Indians and a free pass for Gujarat Titans into the next stage.
