Kolkata Knight Riders v Deccan Chargers, IPL 2012, Kolkata

Heavy Rain Gives Deccan Chargers a Point

Kolkata: The Venue Operations Centre, a temporary structure which accommodates some police personnel on match days, collapsed as squall hit the Eden Gardens half-an-hour before Tuesday's IPL 5 match between Team Kolkata and Team Hyderabad.

The match, meanwhile, was abandoned without a ball being bowled. The teams shared the two points which meant Hyderabad finally opened their account on the points table though they are still winless after six games. Kolkata are now lying second in the table.

The heavy rain and wind also brought down a temporary structure built for housing the city police, reportedly injuring two policemen and a spectator.

The Knight Riders, favourites for the tie, will be disappointed with just one point and are now second on the table with nine points from eight games while Chargers are languishing at the bottom of the table having played six games, five points adrift of the eight-ranked Kings XI Punjab.
