DID YOU HAVE A LOOK AT THE INDIA TEAMS FOR THE AUSTRALIA TOUR? HERE YOU GO IF YOU HAVE NOT …
In the midst of all that, Gill turns fifty
KXIP reviews a pre-stage decision against Cummins, but he’s comfortably lowering his leg. That doesn’t bother Bishnoi, who attacks shortly after to catch her man.Googly again and Cummins didn’t read it again.
I HAVE ‘IM !! Through the gates and Nagarkoti comes out.
OUTSIDE!! So don’t go after spinners for Narine.Jordan cleans it with a slower ball that gains an inside advantage that continues to disrupt the posts.
Morgan is caught on the edge by M Ashwin and the fight is over. It comes out for 40 of 25.The young Bishnoi attacks once more to give KXIP a ticket. Gill is still in the middle. In the last 5 overs, 59 runs were added; right now we are in the middle stage.
Gill and Morgan add FIFTY runsfor the fourth wicket in a counterattack. Punjab’s initial advantage is slowly fading.
After conceding just 6 runs in his first 2 overs, Shami concedes 21 in his third!
Morgan and Gill are organizing a counterattack! They have already added 27 runs on 19 balls.
Innings – 12 runs – 148 Average – 13.5 Scoring rate – 7.21 rpo Karthik has struggled this season with 8 single-digit scores in 12 innings averaging 13.5. In all IPL seasons, their average was lowest only in 2015 (12.8 for RCB)#KKRvKXIP #KKR

Oh my gosh, and ANOTHER! Shami is on fire.Dinesh Karthik gets a nick for the goalie and the Kings have their third wicket in two overs! Forward the decision, but to no avail. What a start !! Perfect Outstanding: You would explain your victims in any format with them.
OTHER! Great bowling here from Kings XI.Shami in action now. Get just a hint of swing and Tripathi gets a tickle on his way to KL Rahul. KKR – 10/2after 1.4 overs in Sharjah.
AND OUT!! Maxwell hits the opening. Frog comes out for a golden duck.Not the best delivery, but Rana looks to help him on his way down the leg and gets a top edge for Gayle on the short thin leg.
KKR’s openers are in the middle. Rana opens with Gill today. Maxwell to open the bowling alley!
Maxwell will need a few runs this season, averaging just 14 this year. Can you get a big score? Let’s do a Maxwell giveaway – how many runs do you think Maxwell will get today?
LAUNCH: KXIP wins the draw, will launch first. The kings have not changed, which means Mayank is not yet available. KKR hasn’t changed either.
Teams:Kolkata Knight Riders: Shubman Gill, Nitish Rana, Rahul Tripathi, Dinesh Karthik (w), Eoin Morgan (c), Sunil Narine, Pat Cummins, Lockie Ferguson, Kamlesh Nagarkoti, Prasidh Krishna, Varun Chakravarthy
Kings XI Punjab: KL Rahul (w / c), Mandeep Singh, Chris Gayle, Nicholas Pooran, Glenn Maxwell, Deepak Hooda, Chris Jordan, Murugan Ashwin, Ravi Bishnoi, Mohammed Shami, Arshdeep Singh
Tone report:“The pitch hasn’t changed much, it could have gotten a little slower, the team that hits first will still have a hard time knowing the even score.” – say the experts. Win, throw, chase maybe?
If there is a resurgence story this season, it stars Kings XI Punjab. Although they had a promising start to the season, they somehow failed to close the games, which left them reeling to the bottom of the table. However, four wins in a row have put his campaign back on track. Three of the four victories have been in Dubai, but they also convincingly beat RCB the last time they played in Sharjah. Getting back in place will give them the boost, and their big hitters will want to make the most of a smaller field to get the big points and overtake KKR for fourth place.
KKR, on the other hand, got the boost they needed after a heartwarming beating over Delhi Capitals. However, they have yet to crack the Sharjah code after having suffered two losses to DC and RCB. They return to the venue for their last game there this season. Can they end KXIP’s winning streak and strengthen their position in the top four in this highly contested season? They came very close to landing their perfect game against DC as Rana slipped between races, Cummins picked up early terrain, and Chakravarthy finished with the best figures this season. Doing things right for the play-offs can’t be a bad thing, right?
Wait a bit, we’ll be back with everything you need to know about the crash.
