Rain threat looms with covers still on in Guwahati \u2013 here\u2019s the latest update"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>There remains uncertainty over the IPL fixture between Rajasthan Royals and Mumbai Indians in Guwahati, with rain continuing to hover around the venue on Tuesday evening.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Rain threat looms over RR vs MI in Guwahati<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>At 6:33 PM, there was a slight drizzle with covers still in place. Earlier, steady rain had forced ground staff to keep the outfield protected, and conditions remained gloomy. The outfield has taken a hit after persistent showers through the day, although there was a brief window of around 30 minutes without rain.<\/p>\n<p>The weather had worsened earlier in the afternoon, with heavy rain reported around 4:35 PM. The situation has raised concerns, especially after the previous day\u2019s game between Kolkata Knight Riders and Punjab Kings in Kolkata was washed out without a result.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Chances hinge on clearing skies<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>While rain has eased intermittently, the threat remains. Guwahati has seen showers over the past few days, and the dark cloud cover suggests further interruptions are possible. The proximity to Kolkata, which also faced a washout, adds to the concern.<\/p>\n<p>However, the fact that rain has reduced at intervals keeps hopes alive. If there is no further heavy rain and the ground dries quickly, a shortened match remains possible. The players from both teams have already reached the stadium, indicating readiness if conditions improve.<\/p>\n<p>At this stage, the chances of a full game appear uncertain, but not ruled out. Much will depend on how the weather behaves over the next hour. A delay or reduction in overs looks likely, while a complete washout cannot be discounted.<\/p>\n<div>\n<div class=\"flex mx-4 wb:mx-4 py-2 border-t border-dotted border-cbChineseSilver wb:border-0\">\n<div><b>Rajasthan Royals<\/b>\u00a0Squad: Yashasvi Jaiswal, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, Dhruv Jurel(w), Riyan Parag(c), Shimron Hetmyer, Donovan Ferreira, Ravindra Jadeja, Jofra Archer, Nandre Burger, Tushar Deshpande, Sandeep Sharma, Ravi Bishnoi, Lhuan-dre Pretorius, Brijesh Sharma, Ravi Singh, Shubham Dubey, Adam Milne, Dasun Shanaka, Kuldeep Sen, Sushant Mishra, Yudhvir Singh Charak, Kwena Maphaka, Vignesh Puthur, Aman Rao Perala<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div class=\"flex mx-4 wb:mx-4 py-2 border-t border-dotted border-cbChineseSilver wb:border-0\">\n<div class=\"flex flex-col gap-2 items-center\">\n<div class=\"font-bold text-center \"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div><b>Mumbai Indians<\/b>\u00a0Squad: Ryan Rickelton(w), Rohit Sharma, Tilak Varma, Suryakumar Yadav(c), Sherfane Rutherford, Naman Dhir, Mitchell Santner, Corbin Bosch, Shardul Thakur, Deepak Chahar, Jasprit Bumrah, Mayank Markande, Trent Boult, Robin Minz, Raj Bawa, Ashwani Kumar, Hardik Pandya, Quinton de Kock, Will Jacks, Mayank Rawat, Raghu Sharma, Atharva Ankolekar, AM Ghazanfar, Danish Malewar, Mohammed Salahuddin Izhar<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There remains uncertainty over the IPL fixture between Rajasthan Royals and Mumbai Indians in Guwahati, with rain continuing to hover\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":473,"featured_media":47567,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-47566","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-ipl"],"reading_time":"2 min read","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/47566","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/473"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=47566"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/47566\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":47572,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/47566\/revisions\/47572"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/47567"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=47566"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=47566"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=47566"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
