Kolkata Knight Riders became the third team behind Deccan Chargers and Bangalore Royal Challengers to be eliminated from the IPL Semi-finals after their must win game against Delhi Daredevils was washed out.
The washout was also bad news for Delhi, who now, must win against other Semi hopefuls Mumbai Indians at the Feroz Shah Kotla. A game which is also threatened by the weather. If that game is a washout then Mumbai will only need to win one of thier last two fixtures against Rajasthan Royals or Bangalore. Knocking out Delhi in the process. Rajasthan Royals and Punjab (Mohali) are the only teams already through.
It comes as a dissapointment for Kolkata who started so well but then suffered because of international call-ups.
