Kolkata went to the semi finals of IPL and will face Hyderabad there. They played extremely well to defeat Rajasthan by 25 runs.
The pitch at Eden Gardens was sticky and batting was difficult in the first 5 overs. Kolkata lost 3 wickets including Sunil Narine, Robin Utthappa and Rana. But Karthik and Shubman Gill did well to steady the innings. Kartik scored 52 runs. Russell then blasted the bowling with 49 runs in 25 balls. The score of 169 in 20 over was decent.
But Rajasthan started brilliantly with 100 runs for 1. Rahane with 45 and Sanju Samson with 50 looked to take the match away.
But brilliant spin bowling from Kuldeep Yadav and Piyush Chawla brought Kolkata back.The viewers enjoyed the match very well.

When Ajinkya Rahane and Sanju Samson were batting, the match looked likely to be Rajasthan Royals' kitty. Yet KKR fought back well and I also think sending Stuart Binny ahead of K.Gowtham was a bad move, as Gowtham has been batting well, while Stuart Binny has performed below expectations.
Did you see the way Rashid Khan played against KKR on 25th May Qualifier 2 vs KKR?

Chennai finally lifted IPL 2018 trophy. Watson was unstoppable in the finals. It was a one sided final. I thought Hyderabad will play better. They surrendered.
