KXIP VS KKR Match Preview:

Kings XI Punjab had an off day in the batting perspective against SRH. KL Rahul once again started well with his new opening partner Mandeep Singh but the team faltered during the middle overs. If Mayank Agarwal is not fit for this match, Mandeep Singh is looking good to continue in his place.

KXIP bowling had a terrific night against Hyderabad. The bowlers won their team a hopeless game out of nowhere. Arshdeep Singh and Chris Jordan have been fantastic in the death overs and have picked up wickets at regular intervals. Kings XI might go with the same combination in this as well.

Kolkata Knight Riders had a tricky start with the bat against DC in the last match. However, Nitish Rana and Sunil Narine changed the game completely with their partnership. Narine's presence has restored the team's spirit, especially on the batting front. 
KKR bowlers were too good for the opposition in the last game. Pat Cummins gave the team a good start picking up wickets in the powerplay. Varun Chakaravarthy's match-winning spell once again showed his ability and the important role he plays in the team. KKR, too, might field the same playing XI in this match.

Both Kings XI Punjab and Kolkata Knight Riders are still in the hunt to get into the playoffs. A win in this match will take KXIP to the same points as KKR while a loss means the end of Punjab's hopes.
