PUNJAB KINGS notched a five-wicket win over Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) on Friday at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium, Dubai, United Arab Emirates (UAE), to keep their hopes of reaching the 2021 Indian Premier League (IPL) playoffs alive.
With the result, both Punjab and Kolkata have ten points apiece, but Kolkata are in fourth spot, one place higher than Punjab, by virtue of a superior net run-rate.
