Kings XI Punjab had a great start to the season with five wins in six matches but they haven't performed well since then. In the last five matches, they have registered only one win against Rajasthan Royals.

Kings XI Punjab is the only team which has a chance to make it even to the top 2 if they win all their matches. But before thinking too far, it is important for them to win two out of the next three games to make it to the playoffs. KXIP have a chance of making it to the playoffs even with one win in three matches but they would not want to take that chance and they would want to win all three games.

In their remaining matches this season, Kings XI will take on Royal Challengers Bangalore, Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings.

Points: 12 from 11 games

Matches left:

vs Royal Challengers Bangalore, Indore, 14 May 2018

vs Mumbai Indians, Mumbai, 16 May 2018

vs Chennai Super Kings, Pune, 20 May 2018
