Pre-Match Analysis:

Despite having an inexperienced bowling line-up, Kolkata Knight Riders did well to restrict the Punjab Kings to a gettable score of 179 runs and closed the match with a last boundary. Full marks to Varun Chakravarthy who bowled exceedingly well, picking up 3 wickets. The restructured batting line-up kept the scoreboard ticking though wickets fell regularly. It was well set up by Jason Roy and Nitish Rana, later Andre Russell and Rinku Singh’s vital 54 run-stand for the 5th wicket proved to be a match-winning one. They must win their remaining 3 matches to make it to the Playoffs as they sit at the 6th spot in the rankings with 10 points.

Last over blunder cost the match for Rajasthan Royals against the Sunrisers on Sunday. The top 3 batters sparkled which took them to 214 runs on the board however bowling woes and fielding errors in the 2nd half made them lose the game. Yuzvendra Chahal found his rhythm, picking up 4 wickets, and didn’t get much support from the other hand. It’s been a while since they won a game and looking to end their 3 matches losing streak. Jos Buttler found his form in the crucial stage of the tournament which is the key takeaway for them. They are one place above Knight Riders and occupy 5th spot in the standings with 10 points.
