Rajasthan Royals registered a convincing 27-run victory over Mumbai Indians in a rain-curtailed IPL 2026 clash in Guwahati on Tuesday. The match was reduced to 11 overs per side after a long delay caused by rain at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium. After being put in to bat by MI skipper Hardik PandyaRR posted a strong total of 150/3, powered by a brilliant 77 off 32 balls from Yashasvi Jaiswal. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi added quick runs with a 39 off just 14 deliveries, including two sixes off jasprit bumrah. In reply, MI struggled to build momentum as key players like Rohit Sharma and Suryakumar Yadav failed to make an impact, eventually finishing at 123/9.

The format of the tournament will remain unchanged and will resemble the format of the Indian Premier League 2023. It was agreed to separate all participants into two teams. Teams from one group will play only once with each other, whereas the second team will fight twice.

All teams will compete with each other up until the end of the group phase, after which four best teams will advance to the next playoff phase based on points. Top two teams must participate in the match called “Qualifier 1,” and the winner will move to the finals. Teams three and four need to fight for their participation in the playoff games through “Eliminator.” In case a team loses, it can no longer participate in the tournament. After that, the team that wins the “Eliminator” should fight against the losing team of “Qualifier 1.” Victory gives the right to one team to advance in the competition.

Speaking about the ranking system, it uses a lot of different factors when ranking teams. One of them is the amount of won championships. Currently, Rajasthan Royals rank first in the leaderboard regarding the total amount of points.
