IPL 2025: What Is Cut-Off Time For 5 Over Match Between RCB And KKR After Rain Delay In Bengaluru?
The 58th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 between Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) on Saturday was delayed due to heavy rain at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru.
The toss for the RCB-KKR clash was set to take place at 7 PM IST but it was delayed due to a steady rain. Thereafter, the start of play, scheduled for 7:30 PM IST, was also delayed as it continued to rain heavily in Bengaluru.
Notably, Chinnaswamy Stadium has a brilliant drainage system which means that the match can start as soon as rain stops. There was a possibility of a full 20-over match if the match could start by 8:45 PM IST.
Meanwhile, both teams need to play a minimum five-over match for a result.
What Is Cut-Off Time For Five-Over Match?
According to the IPL playing conditions, the cut-off time for a five-over match between Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) is 10.56 pm IST.
If the RCB vs KKR IPL 2025 match is abandoned due to rain, both teams will share one point each.
Position Of RCB, KKR In IPL 2025 Points Table
RCB are currently at the second spot in the standings with 16 points and a net run rate of +0.482 with eight wins from 11 games. On the other hand, KKR, currently on 11 points with two matches remaining, face a do-or-die scenario. A washout in Bengaluru could end their playoff hopes, as a shared point would mean they can only reach a maximum of 14 - likely insufficient for qualification.
Meanwhile, RCB have more breathing room; even in case of rain affecting the outcome, they still have a viable shot at making the playoffs, and potentially securing a top-two finish.

Kolkata Knight Riders: Rahmanullah Gurbaz(w), Sunil Narine, Ajinkya Rahane(c), Angkrish Raghuvanshi, Manish Pandey, Andre Russell, Rinku Singh, Ramandeep Singh, Vaibhav Arora, Varun Chakaravarthy, Harshit Rana, Anrich Nortje, Mayank Markande, Anukul Roy, Luvnith Sisodia, Spencer Johnson, Moeen Ali, Quinton de Kock, Venkatesh Iyer, Rovman Powell, Chetan Sakariya

Former WI skipper Pooran announces retirement from international cricket
In a development that has taken the cricketing world by surprise, star West Indies batter and former white-ball captain Nicholas Pooran announced his retirement from international cricket at the age of 29. The Trinidad-born southpaw, who made his debut in 2016, revealed the news via social media, stating that the decision followed 'much thought and reflection'. Pooran, who recently opted out of the West Indies' T20I series against England, offered no specific reason for his decision but expressed immense gratitude for the opportunity to represent the Caribbean. His departure ends a career that saw him become the most capped West Indies T20I player and their leading run-scorer in the format. A decorated white-ball career Pooran leaves behind a legacy built on explosive batting and consistent performances. He played 106 T20 Internationals, amassing 2,275 runs at a strike rate of 136.39. In the ODI format, he featured in 61 matches, scoring 1,983 runs at a healthy average of 39.66. Cricket West Indies described him as a 'game changer' and 'a world-class player', acknowledging the void his retirement will create in the national setup. Leadership and legacy Pooran also served as the West Indies' white-ball captain and reflected on the privilege of leading his team. In his farewell note, he said wearing the maroon and hearing the national anthem were experiences he would cherish forever. Though he won't play for West Indies again, he insisted his love for Caribbean cricket remains 'unshaken'. Focus shifts to franchise cricket Meanwhile, Pooran will continue to play franchise cricket all around the globe. Following a record-breaking 2024, when he hit 170 sixes in a calendar year, he ended IPL 2025 with 524 runs at a staggering strike rate of 196.25. With stints lined up in Major League Cricket, The Hundred, and the ILT20, the flamboyant batter's journey is far from over — just now beyond the international stage.
