Kolkata: The Eden Gardens may be under ankle deep water thanks to the torrential rain lashing the city but curator Prabir Mukherjee is confident that the ground can be ready for today’s first IPL qualifier provided it doesn’t pour any more. The match can be played if it does not rain for two hours in the evening,” Eden curator Prabir Mukherjee told PTI ahead of Kolkata Knight Riders match against Kings XI Punjab here. In the likely scenario of a washout today, the match will be played from 4pm tomorrow, the reserve day but a double washout would mean Kings XI Punjab would make the finals without a bowl being bowled as they are sitting at the top of the points table, while KKR are placed second.
