IPL 2024 Cyclone Remal Update: A dangerous cyclone named Remal is brewing in the Bay of Bengal.

The low pressure in the Northern Bay of Bengal has converted to a Severe Low Pressure, and is set to become a Very Severe Low Pressure in the coming twelve hours or so. But will it affect the IPL 2024 Playoffs and the Final on Sunday?

Kolkata Knight Riders are set to take on the winners of Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Rajasthan Royals in the Final of the IPL 2024. The match is set to take place at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai.

But as the Cyclone Remal threatens to gain power and flex its muscle, the question remains whether it will affect the IPL 2024 Final.

Where will Cyclone Remal Land?

The landfall of Cyclone Remal is expected to be in the coastal areas of West Bengal and Bangladesh. The cyclone is set to move in the North-East direction and landfall in the Sunderbans region on Sunday.

Will Cyclone Remal affect the IPL 2024 Final in Chennai?

At the moment, Cyclone Remal is around 1500 km East of Chennai. The movement of the cyclone kind of predicts a northward move, which implies no such threats for Chennai.

The weather in Chennai can have the effects of the Cyclone though, as the sky is expected to be a bit cloudy and light and scattered rainfall can take place on Saturday. There is a 40 per cent chance of scattered thunderstorms in Chennai on Saturday, which can be an issue to deal with for the ground staff. As of now, there is no rain predicted on Sunday during the IPL 2024 Final.

Hence we can expect an uninterrupted IPL 2024 Final at the MA Chidambaram Stadium. A total of 3 matches have been washed out already in the IPL 2024, which is the most in any edition of the competition since its inception.
