Kolkata Knight Riders defeated Royal Challengers Bangalore by 4 wickets, chasing down 139 in 19.4 overs and will now play the Qualifier 2 against Delhi Capitals on Wednesday. After the win, KKR captain Eoin Morgan said, "Narine makes it look very very easy.  On an improved wicket in Sharjah, he bowled outstandingly. Throughout the innings, we continued to take wickets to post the first six overs. Then in the chase, being in control the whole time doesn't allow you to breathe as a defending side. Don't have to do a lot of moving with so many spinners."

"Huge privilege. When it comes off like that it looks quite strong and deep. The way the wicket played we thought we have to bat quite deep. Onwards and upwards for us. For us it's a matter of coming back, adjusting and seeing what the wicket does. Looking forward to it. The cricket that we have played and the consistency we have shown has surprised everybody. He's a true legend of T20 cricket and we're delighted to have Narine."
