Kolkata’s bowling was poor after putting pressure on Punjab Kings early in the game. As a result of losing two wickets in the first two overs, the chase for KKR didn’t proceed as anticipated. Impact player Venkatesh Iyer and captain Nitish Rana made an effort to advance the innings, but the low scoring rate prevented KKR from winning. In the game’s latter stages, Andre Russell attempted to have an influence by scoring 35 runs off 19 balls. Rain, however, hampered KKR’s hopes. The score was 7 runs in favor of the Knight Riders (D/LMethod).
