The Royals made it tough for themselves but Powell and Rutherford held their nerves to take their side home with timely strikes.

The Royals made it tough for themselves but Powell and Rutherford held their nerves to take their side home with timely strikes. Earlier in the game, the Knight Riders posted a competitive total on the board on the back of good knocks from Pollard and Pooran and a blazing cameo from Hosein at the fag end. In reply, the hosts got off to a brilliant start as de Kock and Alleyne got going with some fluent strokes.

This is why they didn't make the playoffs. They allowed teams to get back into the game after taking so many wickets early on. It happened against SKNP and TKR.
