Kolkata Knight Riders :

It's a must-win game for the Knights as their playoffs chances are still alive if they win this one. However, the results of other games will also affect this game. After winning back-to-back two games KKR is back on track with one match remaining to play. In their previous game, they defeated Kane's Sunrisers Hyderabad in a must-win game for both sides. Although, if they lose this they will definitely knock out of the tournament.
