Defending a modest total of 151, RR failed to chip in without regular wickets. Spin, which was so effective for KKR in the first innings, failed to produce results for RR. Their spin twins Theekshana and Hasaranga failed to pick wickets in the first 10 overs, as De Kock and Rahane have so far looked convincing against them. With only 91 runs get in 11 overs, with nine wickets in hand, KKR should fancy themselves of chasing the target in 18th over of the innings.
