Following heavy rain in Kolkata over the last two days, the umpires made an early inspection of the ground at the Eden Gardens at 5:15 pm and determined after consultation with the curator, that there was no possibility of the ground being fit for play today. As a result therefore, the 2014 IPL Qualifier 1 playoff match between Kings Eleven Punjab and Kolkata Knight Riders has been postponed till tomorrow at 4:00 pm. If it is not possible to complete the Qualifier 1 match tomorrow, Kings Eleven Punjab, having finished top of the league, will advance through to the IPL Final in Bengaluru on Sunday. Kolkata Knight Riders will play in the Qualifier 2 match on Friday.
