Bangalore: Royal Challengers Bangalore and Rajasthan Royals were awarded a point each after the match between the two teams was abandoned at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, here due to continuous rain.
Chasing a 63-run target in a rain-hit contest, which was reduced to five overs per side, the visitors were at 41/1 in 3.2 overs when rain washed out the match.
Interestingly, the point helped Rajasthan climb two places to the fifth position on the points table as they have 11 points in 13 games. However, they have a very slim chance of qualifying for playoffs as to enter the next round of the tournament, RR need to win their remaining match and their fate will also depend upon the results of the other teams.
On the other hand, RCB remained at the bottom with 9 points in 13 games and they are out of the race.
Talking about the Orang cap and Purple cap then Sunrisers Hyderabad batsman David Warner holds the prestigious orange cap as the former SRH skipper has scored 692 runs in 12 matches. Kl Rahul is at the second spot with 520 runs from 12 matches.
Meanwhile, the Purple Cap belongs to Kagiso Rabada who has 25 wickets in his kitty. Rabada's fellow countryman Imran Tahir is at the second place with 17 wickets to his names in his 12 outings with Chennai Super Kings.
