If Kolkata win against Lucknow Super Giants, they will have 16 points, the same as RR, in 11 matches but with superior net runrate, KKR will attain the pole position.
Lucknow Super Giants, meanwhile, will remain at the third place if they win the match against Kolkata. But LSG could attain the second spot if they win the match by a big margin today.
