IPL 2026, RR vs MI: Guwahati Weather Forecast Raises Rain Concerns, Will Rain Wash Out the Match?

The match between Rajasthan Royals and Mumbai Indians at Barsapara Cricket Stadium was badly affected by heavy rain earlier in the day, along with lightning and even a warning for hailstorms.

RR vs MI IPL 2026 Match Reduced to 11 Overs After Rain Delay in Guwahati

The weather caused a delay in the scheduled 7:00 PM toss, and the outfield became very wet, making it difficult for play to start on time. Ground staff had to work hard to get the conditions ready.

The good news for fans is that the rain has now stopped and the situation has improved. Covers are being removed, and the match is finally set to go ahead. Mumbai Indians won the toss and chose to bowl first, but due to the delay, the match has been reduced to 11 overs per side. The new start time is 10:10 PM IST, and the Powerplay will be just 3.2 overs.

The temperature is around 20°C with high humidity of 84%, which could bring a strong dew factor later in the game. Even though there were fears of a complete washout like the KKR vs PBKS IPL 2026 match, fans will still get a result tonight in what promises to be a short and exciting contest.
