Who won yesterday's IPL match, RCB vs KKR: Yesterday IPL match report

NEW DELHI: A crucial IPL 2025 fixture between Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) was washed out due to relentless rain at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium on Saturday, leaving both teams with one point each. While the outcome brought disappointment to fans and players alike, it had vastly different consequences for the two sides. Rain began around 6 PM and never let up, with varying intensity throughout the evening. Hopes of any play gradually diminished, and with not even the toss possible, officials officially called off the match at 10:24 PM IST.Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! For RCB, the point proved valuable. With 17 points from 12 games, they now sit comfortably at the top of the table, ahead of Gujarat Titans (16 points). A win from either of their remaining two matches, against the eliminated Sunrisers Hyderabad on May 23 or the Lucknow Super Giants on May 27, will secure their place in the playoffs. With strong recent form and momentum on their side, the Bengaluru outfit looks primed for a deep run in the tournament. In contrast, the washout spelled the end of KKR's playoff hopes. The defending champions have struggled with inconsistency this season, and the one-point finish in Bengaluru leaves them stranded at 11 points from 13 matches. Even if they beat Sunrisers Hyderabad in their final league match, they can only reach 13 points — mathematically eliminating them from contention. KKR's early exit marks a disappointing campaign after entering the tournament as defending champions. Meanwhile, RCB’s journey continues to build momentum as they close in on a playoff spot with renewed confidence and growing fan support. For now, the rain has decided the fate of one team and left the other with everything to play for.
