Both Punjab Kings and Kolkata Knight Riders met Saturday’s washout at the Eden Gardens with a shrug of the shoulders. “There was an opportunity for two points but we have to accept we got just one,” PBKS spin bowling coach Sunil Joshi said after the umpires declared the match ‘abandoned’ amidst a steady drizzle, a little more than an hour after rain stopped play. 

KKR pacer Vaibhav Arora too felt they missed the chance to chase down the two points, but he may have breathed a sigh of relief when he added that “one point is better than none.”
