KKR and Delhi Meet in Eden Gardens Finale With Playoff Hopes Hanging On Margins

Net run-rate permutations and other match results will decide which side can still reach the IPL playoffs.

Overview

  • Kolkata Knight Riders and Delhi Capitals play Match 70 at Eden Gardens on Sunday, May 24 with both teams still mathematically alive for a final playoff spot.
  • KKR can move to 15 points with a win but must do so by a large margin and hope other results go their way because net run-rate will determine qualification.
  • Delhi would reach 14 points with a victory yet would still depend on outcomes elsewhere to qualify.
  • KKR will be without leading scorer Angkrish Raghuvanshi because of a fractured left finger and may be without spinner Varun Chakravarthy as he manages a hairline foot injury.
  • Eden Gardens has favoured chasing this season and offers some spin grip, the match is being previewed with KKR as favourites, and live coverage is on Star Sports and JioHotstar.
