Kings XI Punjab lost their last game against Sun Risers Hyderabad. In their next game, they will be playing against Kolkata Knight Riders, who are riding high with their last game’s success against Chennai Super Kings. Both the teams are struggling, but comparatively, Kolkata Knight Riders are in a much better position than Kings XI Punjab. In the current Dream 11 Indian Premier League, Kings XI Punjab team won only 1 game out of the 6 games. Kolkata Knight Riders team played 5 games and won 3 games. On paper, KKR looks perfect and can give a tough fight to KXIP.
Overall, KKR and KXIP headed for a clash in 25 games in the Indian Premier League. KKR won 17 games, and KXIP won 8 games. Kolkata Knight Riders will be the favorites for the game unless KXIP exhibits some miracles in the middle.
Kings XI Punjab really needs to find their best playing 11. Individually, every player is good, but they are unable to play as a team. They might consider replacing maxwell with Gayle as Maxwell failed in all games. The bowling department looks clueless as well. Except for Bishnoi, no one is doing well. The team should work on it.
KKR is winning matches, but their batting order is not set. They should send morgan up the order. Sending Narine ahead of Morgan was a bad idea. Tripathi opening is a good decision, though. On the bowling front, Pat Cummins needs to do well as he is pretty inconsistent. The rest of the bowlers are doing well.
