AFP, Dubai :
Pat Cummins claimed four wickets and skipper Eoin Morgan scored 68 as Kolkata Knight Riders knocked Rajasthan Royals out of the Indian Premier League with a 60-run win on Sunday.
Kolkata ended the league phase with their seventh win this season to have a chance of reaching the play-offs while Royals are set to finish bottom of the eight-team table.
Morgan hit his first half-century of the campaign to propel Kolkata to 191 for seven and Cummins then returned figures of 4-34 as Royals managed just 131 for nine in 20 overs in Dubai.
Kolkata, who moved to fourth spot and improved their net run-rate with a big win, now await their fate which depends on the results of the last two league matches in the coming two days.
“I don’t think we could have done anything more today. So whatever happens from here is up to the Gods,” Morgan said.
