IPL 2020: KKR vs RR, Match 54 Updates: Cummins removes Uthappa in first over as Royals chase 192

Dubai, Nov 1: Rajasthan Royals will look to sustain the momentum against Kolkata Knight Riders in another must-win IPL 2020 game on Sunday (November 1).

The Royals can certainly look forward to their batting at the Dubai International Stadium. Their talismanic England all-rounder Ben Stokes has won a Man-of-the-Match award, having made a breezy half-century after picking up two wickets, in the team's win over Kings XI Punjab. Sanju Samson rediscovering his touch must have also gladdened the hearts of the RR team management.

Jofra Archer has been the standout performer with the ball and he will again shoulder RR's responsibility in bowling.

Despite having 12 points, KKR's road to the playoffs looks the toughest, thanks to their abysmal net run rate. Their only chance of qualification is if they beat Royals and finish on 14 points, with none of the other contenders reaching that tally.

That seems improbable, the last two successive losses badly hurting their prospects. Nevertheless, the likes of Shubman Gill, Nitish Rana, captain Eoin Morgan in batting and Varun Chakravarthy, Pat Cummins and Kamlesh Nagarkoti with the ball would like to give it their all.

Here are the match updates:

Nov 01, 2020, 9:25 pm IST

Rahul Tripathi: The pitch was seaming around initially and slowly it became good for batting. It's important to hit the good areas with the new ball. The last time we played here dew came into play and we are expecting the dew will come into play tonight as well and I think the target is still not easy to chase. He (Archer) was bowling well and I was looking forward to getting some runs, but after that initial wicket, we wanted to see him off and target the other bowlers. It's a great end to the innings and we lost 2-3 wickets in the middle overs and the end was fantastic. It's a really good total on the board. If we get a good win here, then we are definitely into the playoffs.
