Let us take a closer look at both the teams that feature in the match.

Kings XI Punjab:

After losing their first two matches, Kings XI Punjab finally got their first points as they defeated MS Dhoni’s Rising Pune Supergiants by 6 wickets. Sandeep Sharma and Mohit Sharma impressed with the ball as together they took 5 wickets.

Chasing a target of 153, Kings XI Punjab got the best start as the duo of Murali Vijay and Manan Vohra added 97 for the first partnership. Both of them got their respective 50s and later Glenn Maxwell showed sign of coming back to form as he blasted 32 off just 20 balls to finish the game. It was a clinical performance from KXIP as they would look to do the same henceforth.

Kolkata Knight Riders:

Kolkata Knight Riders have won two of their three matches so far KKR have impressed. Gautam Gambhir played a captain’s knock in the last match as his 90 off 60 balls helped them beat Sunrisers Hyderabad easily. He along with Robin Uthappa are giving KKR the perfect start till now and Kings XI Punjab need to strike early to create some pressure.

Kolkata Knight Riders’ bowlers impressed in the last match with Umesh Yadav picking up 3 wickets as he got good support from Morne Morkel, Andre Russell and Sunil Narine. Return of Narine has definitely strengthened KKR’s bowling as Gambhir has many options.

Weather Conditions:

We have clear skies in Mohali and we can expect a full game.

Pitch Report:

Mohali pitch has always suited fast bowlers and 155 has been the average total scored in the two IPL matches played this season.
