Kolkata lost the match and almost out of the tournament

So that is two in two for KKR and that means they are out of the tournament barring a mathematical chance. I think they should have won the first match. Yesterday though they were woeful and deserved to lose, so was not a surprising result. Indian teams are not doing well in the CL T20 other than MI who just seem to be pulling off miracles!! Cheers!

I think Kolkata Knight Riders have not played smartly and as a team failed to seize the initiative allowing their opponents to pile up big scores or gift away wickets far too easily. Kolkata Knight Riders also failed to do basics well. It is all very well to expect Pathan and others to hit sixes, but if you fail to rotate strike enough, dot balls bowled will create pressure and result in lose strokes from batsmen and fall of wickets. Also, fielding and catching has not been great. Kolkata Knight Riders failed to stop singles on a regular basis and with no pressure, opposition batsmen also got enough big scoring opportunities as a result. Kolkata Knight Riders needs to learn from these failures, and be better prepared to perform better as they are a talented outfit if perform to potential.
