Kolkata, during their run chase, produced a stunning batting display but the Shreyas Iyer-led side eventually fell short by just two runs.
Bangalore, on the other hand, required a favor from Mumbai Indians to qualify for the playoffs. The Rohit Sharma-led side managed to beat Delhi Capitals in the penultimate match of the league stage by five wickets. And Delhi’s defeat was enough to see Bangalore seal a playoff berth.
