The Hindu·6h ago·Neutral
What Happened
The IPL 2026 match between Kolkata Knight Riders and Punjab Kings at Eden Gardens was abandoned due to rain on Monday. KKR was batting at 25 for two in 3.4 overs when showers halted play. Openers Finn Allen and Cameron Green were dismissed by pacer Xavier Bartlett. Despite groundstaff efforts to cover the field, intensifying rain and wind forced match referee Javagal Srinath to call off the contest. Both teams received one point each. This marks the second consecutive washout between these teams at the same venue.
