Due to rain, the toss could not be done in this match. It was raining in Bengaluru for the last several days. Rain was predicted during this match as well and it happened the same way. Rain started before the toss. It stopped once in the middle but came again. In the end the umpires decided to cancel it. Both the teams have got 1-1 points.

Playoff hopes over for KKR
