Kolkata Knight Riders
Kolkata Knight Riders have kept their hopes alive with a victory against CSK, breaking an 11-year streak of losses against them. They can reach a maximum of 14 points and secure the fourth spot in the playoffs if other results go their way. After Punjab’s defeat to DC, limiting them to a maximum of 14 points, KKR now needs RCB to lose at least one of their remaining games and for Sunrisers to defeat Mumbai without going past 14 points. In that case, NRR will be the determining factor. Currently, KKR’s NRR of -0.256 is behind that of Mumbai’s -0.128, Bangalore’s +0.166, and Rajasthan’s +0.140 among the teams that could potentially tie with them at 14 points. If KKR loses to Lucknow in their last group match, they will be eliminated.
Remaining fixtures:
- Kolkata Knight Riders vs Lucknow Super Giants in Kolkata on May 20.
