IPL 2024 Final: Concerns Over Rain Impacting KKR Vs SRH Clash In Chennai

The IPL 2024 Final between Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and Sunrisers Hyderabad is scheduled to take place in Chennai on Sunday, May 26.

On Saturday, May 25, rain began affecting parts of Chennai. A scattered thunderstorm, resulting from low pressure and Cyclone Remal, caused rain in parts of the city, disrupting KKR's practice session. The practice was called off due to the incessant rain.

The low pressure in the Northern Bay of Bengal has intensified into a Severe Low Pressure and is expected to escalate into a Very Severe Low Pressure within the next twelve hours. This raises concerns about its potential impact on the IPL 2024 Playoffs and the Final on Sunday.

Currently, Chennai has a minimal chance of rain on Sunday. Although it rained on Saturday, immediate threats to the Final are not anticipated. Light rain was predicted for Saturday and occurred as expected. However, clearer weather is forecasted for Sunday.
