Double-header matches will be played today on Super Sunday in IPL 2026. Match one will be between Chennai Super Kings and Lucknow Super Giants. It will take place in Chepauk at 3:30 pm. Match two will be between Royal Challengers Bangalore and Mumbai Indians. This match will take place at Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh International Stadium in Raipur at 7:30 pm. While RCB aims to reach number one in the rankings, MI looks forward to winning again. However, there is an important weather update regarding the match in Raipur, and it might involve rain.
Mumbai Indians have been struggling this season in the IPL 2026. They began with a win against Kolkata Knight Riders but lost four matches in a row. They then won a match against the Gujarat Titans, only to suffer a hat-trick of defeats. Although they won their last match against the Lucknow Super Giants, their playoff race is all but over. MI has played 10 matches so far, losing seven of them and have just six points. If their match against RCB is washed out today, they will be officially eliminated from the tournament.
According to a Cricbuzz report, rain delayed the start of practice on Saturday, May 9th. After about an hour of practice for both teams, heavy rain accompanied by lightning and thunder forced the session to be ended early.
The weather is forecast to be clear on match day, with temperatures hovering around 30 degrees Celsius. The report also states that there has been a sudden spell of rain in the evening recently and there is a strong possibility that there may be some interruptions due to rain during the match as well.
