IPL 2018: 5 Best remaining Matchups

#4 Kings XI Punjab vs Kolkata Knight Riders - May 12, Saturday 4 pm IST

Chris Lynn and Chris Gayle after Punjab's Win over KKR by DLS method

Kolkata Knight Riders and Kings XI Punjab swapped places in the points table after last weekend's matchups. KXIP are currently at number 3 with just one game behind the top 2 teams. KKR, on the other hand, are at number 4 with 10 points.

The last time these two teams played rain played a spoilsport. Punjab beat Kolkata by 9 wickets by DL method. They chased down the target of 125 in 11.1 overs with 11 balls to spare. The in-form batsmen, Rahul and Gayle, went berserk and made the target look small. In the first innings before the rain, KKR scored 191 in 20 overs thanks to Chris Lynn's heroic 74 off just 41 balls.

Expect some fireworks in this game with two of the best batting attacks in this year's IPL squaring off on Saturday, May 12. With a win, KXIP could try to compete with CSK and SRH for the coveted Top 2 spots in the playoffs. KKR would like to get a win here and move above the Kings in the points table due to their superior NRR.
