KXIP vs KKR DREAM11 GRAND LEAGUE TEAM | KXIP vs KKR | Indian Premier League 2019

Mohali, May 03, Friday at 08:00 PM IST

So, it’s time for the do or die battle for the Kings XI Punjab and Kolkata Knight Riders in the Vivo IPL 2019. Both the teams will square off at IS Bindra Stadium in Mohali with the only aim of winning the contest.

Placed sixth and seventh in the table, both the teams have managed five wins each in twelve encounters and need to secure a win tonight to continue their campaign. A loss here will knock the side out of contention.

While the visitors, Kolkata Knight Risers have an upper hand in head-to-head encounters, Kings XI Punjab will be looking to capitalize the home advantage and get going.

Kolkata Knight Riders registered a much necessary 34 runs win over Mumbai Indians in the last encounter at Eden Gardens and would be relieved to break their six matches losing streak. On the other hand, Kings XI Punjab faced 45 runs drubbing at the hands of Sunrisers Hyderabad in the previous encounter and required net run rate boosting wins to fancy their chances in the playoffs.

The clash begins at 08:00 PM IST.
