Don't want to miss the best from Business Standard?
Kolkata Knight Riders beat Sunrisers Hyderabad by 8 wickets and managed to reach their fourth IPL final as they will be ready and geared up to face the winner of Qualifier 2 at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Sunday, May 26.
Knight Riders have been impeccable this year, winning against all the teams and losing just three games at the league stage. They also sailed through the Qualifier 1 against one of the most dangerous batting line-ups.
Format of playoffs
The playoffs are designed in a manner that the top two ranked teams at the league stage would get two chances at the cherry to get to the final. Thus Qualifier 1 was played between the number one-ranked KKR and number two-ranked SRH. Now, Kolkata could play either Hyderabad again or Rajasthan Royals (RR).
Eliminator
The Eliminator between RR and RCB at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, where the Qualifier 1 was played, was won by the Royals who beat RCB by six wickets. While Rajasthan finished third after losing five matches in a row, Royal Challengers won six in a row to dethrone Chennai Super Kings from the fourth spot and make it to the playoffs.
Qualifier 2
Hyderabad, since they lost Qualifier 1 have qualified for Qualifier 2 and they will play Royals. Qualifier 2 will be played at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai only. It will be played on Friday, May 24.
IPL 2024 final
KKR will wait for their opponents on Sunday. The three finals that KKR played were held in Chennai in 2012, Bengaluru in 2014 and in Dubai in 2021. Thus, Kolkata are very well-versed in playing the final and winning it away from home and down south. It could be a re-match of Qualifier 1, but only if Hyderabad manages to win Qualifier 2.
