In their 8 games so far, they have just 2 wins and are placed in the bottom place. They might not even make into the playoffs!

Kings XI Punjab, on the other hand, looks charged up after the inclusion of Universe Boss-Chris Gayle! They are placed third with 5 wins in 7 matches. An interesting clash is expected when both the teams will face each other tomorrow.

Here are the key players-
