Cricket News: Bengaluru weather forecast for RCB vs GT match | Bengaluru weather update for RCB vs GT IPL 2023 match

Rain has lashed through Bengaluru over the past week, casting some doubts over the crucial IPL 2023 match between Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and Gujarat Titans (GT).

Depending on other results, RCB may need to win this match to qualify for the playoffs. There is no doubt Faf du Plessis’ team as well as the millions of RCB fans will be hoping for kind weather at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium.

What is the weather forecast in Bengaluru for the RCB vs GT match?

According to TimesNow, rain is expected to fall quite consistently until May 25. This includes Sunday, where the rain is forecast to fall in the evening.

According to AccuWeather, the chance of precipitation is low in Bengaluru throughout the day. However, there is a 51% chance of precipitation at 5pm, followed by 65% at 7pm and 9pm respectively. Should rain fall, there is hope that there can be a shortened match at least, with periods of lower precipitation levels throughout the evening.

Google shows a similar forecast. No rain is expected to fall until the late afternoon, which increases the possibility of an interrupted game.

Should Mumbai Indians beat Sunrisers Hyderabad in the earlier game, RCB will need to win against GT to secure their place in the IPL 2023 playoffs. So, RCB fans may be hoping for SRH to upset MI in case this match finishes in a no result.

If MI loses to SRH, Rohit Sharma’s team will miss out on the playoffs as they will finish on 14 points. So, a no result can get RCB into the playoffs with 15 points.
