IPL 2026 : The much-anticipated clash between Rajasthan Royals and Mumbai Indians at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium has been hit by rain interruptions.The match was scheduled to begin at 7:30 PM, but persistent showers have delayed the toss.
Although there was a brief moment when the rain stopped and ground staff began removing covers, fresh drizzle has once again halted progress, leaving fans waiting for further updates.
Rajasthan Royals in Strong Form
Rajasthan have kicked off their season in impressive fashion. They have already secured convincing wins in their opening two matches against Chennai Super Kings and Gujarat Titans.
With momentum on their side, the Royals will be eager to continue their winning streak and strengthen their position early in the tournament.
Mumbai Indians Eye a Comeback
For Mumbai, this match is an important opportunity to prove their strength. Despite having a powerful squad on paper, their performance in away games has been underwhelming. Since 2023, they have recorded one of the poorest away win-loss ratios (0.6), which remains a concern.
However, there’s a positive boost for the team as Hardik Pandya is set to return after recovering from illness, adding balance and confidence to the lineup.
Fans Await Start Amid Uncertainty
With rain continuing to hover over Guwahati, fans and players alike are hoping for clear skies soon. The ground conditions and weather updates will determine when—or if—the game can begin tonight.
