T10 League: Kerala Knights vs Rajputs Live Score, Commentary & Updates

So, thats it folks from us for this game. Don't go away just as yet as we have the next game featuring the Northern Warriors and the Maratha Arabians lined up as well. Do join us for the live coverage, if the rain resists.

Earlier on, the Rajputs had accumulated 94 runs from 9 overs, thanks largely to some brilliant hitting by Laurie Evans who was unbeaten on 38 of just 19 balls. The likes of McCullum and Rossouw threatened to go big but were dismissed on the score of 21. For the Knights, Fabian Allen was the pick of the bowlers, conceding just 17 runs from his two overs and picking up two wickets as well.

Unfortunately folks, the play has been called off due to rain. Hence, both teams would share one point each. As a result of that, the Rajputs finish at number two position in Group A, courtesy a better run rate.

A slight drizzle has stopped play.

Kerala Knights (Playing XI): Chris Gayle, Paul Stirling, Eoin Morgan(c), Kieron Pollard, Fabian Allen, Upul Tharanga(w), Wayne Parnell, Sohail Tanvir, Sandeep Lamichhane, Mohammad Naveed, Reetinder Sodhi

Rajputs have some big hitters of the ball in the form of Mohammad Shahzad, Brendon McCullum and Rilee Rossouw and would be hoping to post a total in excess of 120 .

Brendon McCullum, captain of the Rajputs flips the coin. Eoin Morgan calls head and heads it is. Kerala Knights have won the toss and as expected, would field first.

Toss time !
