Kolkata did not get off to a good start with a target of 205 runs. They lost opener Narayan Jagdisan early on. After that, Venkates Iyer was pulling Kolkata’s innings with Rahmanullah Gurbaz.

Rana was out for 45 off 29 balls. After a while, when Venkatesh got out with 83 runs from 40 balls, Kolkata’s victory was in doubt. After Rashid’s hat trick, Kolkata’s innings went awry.
