Kings XI Punjab are in the second last spot in the IPL after 12 games played and limited to no chance of making the playoffs. The team really showed some promise at the start of the season but has not had the best of luck lately. They will be looking to make things better here, and are expected to come out with all guns blazing in the last two games of the regular season, in their hopes of having an even record.
On the other hand, Kolkata Knight Riders are also in the same boat as their opponents and will be looking to have a similar level performance as they managed in the last game. It has been a disappointing season for the franchise, as they were on a 6 game losing streak. Andre Russell has single-handedly won five games for the team, and he will be feeling overburdened with this roster who had the capacity of winning the IPL. With two games played, only pride is left to play for.
Match Details:
Venue – Punjab Cricket Association Stadium, Chandigarh, India
Date & Time – 3rd May | 8:00 PM IST

Pitch Report:
This pitch is one of the fastest in India, and it helps the pace bowlers a lot when, but also favours batsman in the powerplay overs to score runs freely.
