Kolkata Knight Riders face Delhi Capitals at Eden Gardens on Sunday evening while monitoring the outcome of Rajasthan Royals versus Mumbai Indians earlier that day. Kolkata and Punjab Kings both need favorable results from the Mumbai match to keep their playoff hopes alive.
Kolkata must beat Delhi to reach 15 points and match Punjab on the table. If that happens, net run rate will decide the outcome. Since Punjab holds a better NRR, Kolkata would need to improve its own figure enough to surpass Punjab and advance.
