While these rains were welcomed by the residents of Bengaluru, cricket fans were disappointing enough for them. The eliminator between the Sunrisers Hyderabad and the Kolkata Knight Riders was to be played at the Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru.

Rain gods did play spoilsport over the match. While the Sunrisers were able to play the 20-over game and could only score 128 runs, the KKR had to wait and only 6 overs were in their fate. However, the Knight Riders made full use of it and came out as victors.
