What will be the equation if the match is of 5-5 overs?

This season has seen the last few matches being washed out due to rain. If the match between Bangalore and Chennai is also affected by rain, then it can be shortened to arrive at the result. It is possible that in case the 20 over match is not held, there will be a 5-5 over match. In such a situation, if RCB bats first then it will have to score 80 runs and restrict Chennai to 62 runs. Whereas if Chennai gets the target of 80 runs then it will have to be won in 3.1 overs i.e. just 19 balls.

After completion of 20 overs, whatever target RCB sets while batting first, it will have to win over Chennai by 18 runs. At the same time, whatever target is achieved by Chennai, it will have to be achieved in 18.1 overs. After defeating RCB Chennai, it will reach level with it on 14 points and will be ahead in net run rate.
