Looks like HCP II was a run-scoring fest @Na Maloom Afraad
Post automatically merged:

215 to get in two (potentially, could just be one more if they get knocked-out) innings.

Ya never know.
Rohit scored 264 at Eden Gardens in 2014. Maybe he can repeat that in Eliminator 2 or create a new record at SMS.

Kolkata Knight Riders' esteemed lineup has considerably underdelivered in such a momentous occasion - they've been bowled-out for a mediocre 225 in the first semi-final.
Joe Root and Virat Kohli were once again put under scrutiny after failing to go big after starting well and getting settled-in. Joe Root's blitz up-top were somewhat laudable.

Devon Conway's 55-ball 60 (40 of which came exclusively in fours) was the only definitive highlight of the innings in an otherwise underwhelming (to put it mildly) innings.
Shaheen Afridi, Navdeep Saini and Ravindra Jadeja shined with the ball - but none more so than Washington Sundar. He claimed three crucial wickets at crucial occasions.

The bowlers have done their job and now it is the batsmen who need to get us into that final. It was a great comeback after they were 100 for 2 in 12 odd overs.
 
Eden Gardens is getting banned from next season if we choke again!
 
What a collapse. Did you receive my briefcase prior to the match?

Confident it will be a tight match, hopefully in our favour. Pinning our hope on Mujeeb, as the pitch should deteriorate now in the second innings.
