October 10 saw Kings XI Punjab (KXIP) losing a winnings match by 2 runs against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), while Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), on the other hand, had an emphatic 37-run win over Chennai Super Kings (CSK), in the Indian Premier League (IPL) double-header clash.
If one has to describe KXIP's 2 run loss, it will be by millimetres. Where a six could get the game into Super Over, the four got KKR the two-run win at Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi. They restricted KKR to 164 and even got a good start with KL Rahul and Mayank Agarwal smashing half-centuries.
As for Royal Challengers Bangalore, this was their biggest ever win over CSK in the history of the IPL as well. In chase of a target score of 170 runs, CSK got off to a very sluggish start on the night as both openers failed to get going from the first ball.
After the two clashes, Delhi Capitals (DC) continue to remain at the top of the IPL 2020 points table following their commendable 46-run win against Rajasthan Royals (RR) on Friday. RR will have to win six out of their remaining eight games if they have to have any chance of qualifying for the play-offs.
KKR's win keeps them firmly in the mix for the playoffs while Kings XI Punjab's loss effectively rules them out of the play-off race although mathematically, they can still make it. The clash between Chennai Super Kings and Royal Challengers Bangalore was massive as the loss for either team could hurt their playoff chances and currently, the ones to suffer is the Chennai franchise.
