The game could not be completed due to rain and at the time when it was stopped, the Knight Riders were 146/7, needing 46 off the last 24 balls with Shardul Thakur and Sunil Narine batting. 

 

The purple brigade had lost two quick wickets in Andre Russell and Venkatesh Iyer in back to back overs before the rain and that caused the DLS par score to go higher and higher. In the end, even after Narine hitting a six off the last ball of the over after which the game was stopped, KKR fell short by 7 runs.
