'Just on wrong side of toss': Eoin Morgan

Kolkata skipper Eoin Morgan said that his team was on wrong side of toss despite having played really well.

"I think we played really well re, just on wrong side of toss. dew from about 8th over was really challenging. We improved on our batting. Our bowlers absolutely gave it ir everything. We have one game left and still have a very little chance. We felt we were right in game. Nitish Rana kicked on and showed his class once again. It was actually a good day for us with bat. y (Varun Chakravarthy & Sunil Narine) are two fantastic spinners. I can't fault anyone's effort tonight. He (Nagarkoti) didn't have eugh runs to defend. He's a young guy, he will take it on chin and move forward. Looking forward to next game against Royals", said Morgan during post-match interview. 

former champions must w win ir final league match against inaugural edition's winners Rajasthan at Dubai International Cricket Stium on Sunday in order to keep ir playoff hopes alive.
