Mumbai Indians has to win its last league game by around 171 runs after scoring 200 to get past KKR’s NRR. If the defending champions chase, they can’t go beyond KKR’s NRR. File Photo: Sportzpics for IPL
Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) beat Rajasthan Royals (RR) by 86 runs in Match 54 of 14th edition of Indian Premier League at Sharjah Cricket Ground on Thursday. Kolkata has qualified for playoffs literally with the impossible net run rate scenario for defending champions Mumbai Indians, but we will have to wait until Friday for official announcement.
KKR made 171 for four against Rajasthan Royals who in response were shot out for 85 in 16.1 overs.
Shubman Gill scored 56 off 44 balls for KKR while his opening partner Venkatesh Iyer made 38 off 35 balls. Shivam Mavi took four wickets for KKR and Lockie Ferguson took three.
Rahul Tripathi (21), Dinesh Karthik (14 not out off 11) and skipper Eoin Morgan (13 not out off 11) also played good hands towards the end to take KKR to past the 170-run mark.
Young left-arm pacer Chetan Sakariya was the pick of the bowkers for RR with figures of 1/23.
