Game over at Eden Gardens. We've been informed that the match has been called off. Kolkata were ahead of the D/L when it began to rain and that's how it ends. Kolkata move level with Mumbai on 14 points at the top of the table, though their net run-rate is not as good as Mumbai's.
And it's raining. Rather hard. The players are walking off the ground, the covers are coming on.
The field is covered totally with Plastic Cover
As per D/L KKR should score 51 & they are 61 - So KKR is far ahead!
It's Heavy Rain here. Match stopped
