In a high-stakes IPL encounter between Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and Punjab Kings (PBKS), rain had the final say as the match was abandoned after just one over of KKR’s chase. Punjab Kings had posted an imposing 201/4 in their 20 overs, powered by a blistering 83 from Prabhsimran Singh and a solid 69 from Priyansh Arya. Despite a few breakthroughs by Vaibhav Arora (2/34) and Varun Chakravarthy (1/39), PBKS managed a strong finish.

Chasing 202, KKR started steadily at 7/0 after the first over, with Sunil Narine and Rahmanullah Gurbaz at the crease. However, before the match could gain momentum, rain intervened, forcing the officials to call off play. With the points shared between the two sides, both teams now look ahead to their upcoming fixtures, hoping for better weather and full matches.

This abandonment could prove crucial in the playoff race, where every point matters as the league stage approaches its climax.
