KXIP vs KKR Dotball Prediction

Carving for a place in the playoffs, the Kolkata Knight Riders and Kings XI Punjab are all set to face-off for the second time in this season in the 52nd match which will be played at the Punjab Cricket Association IS Bindra Stadium in Mohali.

Both teams still have a chance to make it to the playoffs despite their current position on the points table. After playing 12 matches each, both KKR and KXIP have won 5 and lost 7 and their current position is sixth and seventh respectively.

This match can be termed as an eventual knockout as curtains will roll down for the team who will lose here. A big win over Mumbai Indians in their last game kept Kolkata Knight Riders’s hopes alive as they finally managed a win after losing six on the trot.

On the other hand, Kings XI Punjab’s swinging pendulum of wins and losses is not in any mood to end, as they have now lost three games on the bounce. A loss here will end their campaign for the season which they definitely don’t want to happen. They do have a tough road ahead as their next two opponents are KKR and CSK and it would be interesting to see whether they will perish or evolve from this pressure situation.
