Kings XI Punjab will take on Kolkata Knight Riders today in the 20th match of Indian Premeir League to be played at Punjab Cricket Association Stadium, Mohali, Chandigarh from 4pm.
Given the previous matches of Kings XI, it is difficult to bat on their win. Their batting line-up (except David Hussey) has failed time and again and they haven't impressed with the bowling as well.
Gilchrist, captain of KXIP hasn't scored runs in the previous matches, he must fire with the bat or replace himself to other overseas player. Rest of the top order doesn't have any big names but all of them have potential to score, which they must if Kings XI wants to remain in the series.
KKR on the other hand have a strong batting line-up with the likes of Gambhir, Kallis, Morgan and all of them have scored decent runs. McCullum is now fit and is available for selection and it will be interesting to see who will give way for him or what line-up KKR will follow this time.
Kings XI Punjab team:
AC Gilchrist (Captain), P Awana, Azhar Mahmood, BA Bhatt, Bipul Sharma, PP Chawla, SD Chitnis, A Choudhary, MS Gony, Gurkeerat Singh, Harmeet Singh, RJ Harris, DJ Hussey, P Kumar, Mandeep Singh, SE Marsh, AD Mascarenhas, DA Miller, LA Pomersbach, N Saini, Sandeep Sharma, R Sathish, Sunny Singh, PC Valthaty, M Vohra
