GT vs KKR Match

5:14 PM IST Right then, the Gujarat players are taking a lap around the Narendra Modi Stadium to thank their fans as this is their last game at home. With this, that's a wrap from Match 63 where, after a frustrating and prolonged wait, the game ends up being a washout. But worry not, we have now entered the penultimate week of this edition of the Indian T20 League and with Playoffs on the cusp, this week of the league stage is surely going to provide some thrilling nail-biters. Up next is an important clash between Delhi and Lucknow at the Arun Jaitley Stadium. Both teams are itching to get back to winning ways and are fighting hard for the Playoff spots. However, there's still a lot of work to be done in terms of permutations and combinations as the NRR will undoubtedly be a crucial factor in the end. This game will be played on Tuesday, 14th May, and the first ball will be bowled at 7.30 pm IST (2 pm GMT). But as always, you can join us for the pre-match build-up. Till then, cheers, and take care!

5:13 PM IST Bad news folks! The inevitable has happened and the match has been called off. The rain really poured on our expectations, didn't it? A buzzkill after all the hype! Well, only for Gujarat as this is a crushing dent to its Playoff ambitions, as they are now officially eliminated from this year's Indian T20 League. With only a solitary game remaining and unable to accumulate even 14 points now, their journey comes to an unfortunate end. Surely Gujarat and their fans will be gutted as the two-time finalists' journey ends in the worst possible way. But truth be told, their season saw a fair share of struggles throughout the league stage. Meanwhile, Kolkata's probably kicking back without a care in the world as they're already locked in for the Playoffs, and now they've even strengthened their hold on the top spot with that additional point and a very healthy Net Run Rate. Surely they must have hoped for a full 40-over match to mark their 250th game in this competition with some memorable moments but they have secured a spot in Qualifier 1 with this point and will have two bites at the cherry to make it to the final. However, their next hurdle is even more challenging, as they face Rajasthan in the final league game of this season.

4:55 PM IST UPDATE - 10.26 pm IST (4.56 pm GMT) - The umpires are really optimistic and the covers are coming off now. There are a few puddles and the Super Soppers are working hard to prepare the ground as we are not far from the cut-off time. We are also hearing that if everything goes well, the toss will happen at 10.41 pm IST (5.11 pm GMT). Stick with us for more updates.

4:45 PM IST UPDATE - 22.15 pm IST (4.45 pm GMT) - Well, the umbrellas are still over the heads as it is still raining out there. Gujarat skipper Shubman Gill, along with the coach, Ashish Nehra is out to the middle and they are having a chat with the match officials. Also, Kolkata's skipper, Shreyas Iyer makes his way out and he is in his flip-flops. Maybe, the final verdict is just around the corner now as both the skippers are now having a chat. A lot of chatter is going around in the middle and the officials are trying their best to get at least a 5-over game but it all depends on the rain to stop as quickly as possible now. Stay tuned...

4:04 PM IST UPDATE - 21.30 pm IST (4.00 pm GMT) - Folks, this is turning out to be a disaster as the rain has strengthened further in Ahmedabad. The umbrellas are still out, but the fans are unmoved, hoping to get at least a 5-over game, which in certainty, doesn't look like a possibility seeing the visuals.

3:44 PM IST UPDATE - 21.15 pm IST (3.45 pm GMT) - The deadline for a 5-over match per side is 10.56 pm IST (5.26 pm GMT). As for the rain, it's still pouring, and no official updates regarding the toss as yet, which is surely not a piece of pleasing news for the fans of Gujarat. Stay tuned for further updates.
