Royal Challengers Bangalore is currently waiting for its finalist ipl 2026 final, but it will be decided by the winner of Qualifier 2 between Gujarat Titans and Rajasthan Royals on Friday, May 29 at the Maharaja Yadvendra Singh International Stadium, New Chandigarh. This conflict will be a do or die contest for both the sides and the loser will have to end his journey there.
On the other hand, the winner will face the defending champion. In any case, both GT and RR have a great chance to win their second IPL title. However, fans are wondering what would happen if a washout occurs and the fate of the game does not end with a certain result. There is also confusion about who will play RCB at the Narendra Modi Stadium in case of rain.
What if GT vs RR, Qualifier 2 of IPL 2026, gets cancelled?
In case of defeat, the team ranked higher in the points table at the end of the league stage campaign will advance to the summit clash and face Rajat PatidarRCB in a great match on Sunday.
Notably, GT finished second in the points table with 18 points after nine wins in the league stage. In contrast, the Royals finished fourth and were also the last team to qualify for the playoffs with sixteen points after fourteen league-stage fixtures. Since GT finished higher in the table than RR, they will be given a place in the finals in the event of a washout.
Is there any reserve day for Qualifier 2, GT vs RR?
Unfortunately, there is no reserve day for Qualifier 2 between Gujarat Titans and Rajasthan Royals. However, in case there is a delay or interruption in the conduct of the match due to weather conditions such as rain or wet outfield, an additional 120 minutes of cut-off time is allotted for this high-profile match. As a result, organizers have made additional arrangements to ensure that the Games are completed on the scheduled date.
GT vs RR: Road to Qualifier 2
For those unaware, GT advanced to Qualifier 2 after conceding the first goal against RCB at the HPCA Stadium in Dharamshala. GT was unable to chase down the challenging score set by the Bengaluru team and thus were given another chance to prove their worth. On the other hand, Riyan Parag & Co. set themselves up for the second qualifier spot by defeating Sunrisers Hyderabad in the eliminator on Wednesday.
While a win is a must for RR to reach the final, GT won't mind a drawn match as it will still book their spot for the clash at the huge stadium in Ahmedabad, which is also their home ground.
