ADVANCE:Kings XI Punjab (KXIP) will meet Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in match 24 of the 2020 Indian Premier League (IPL) in Abu Dhabi on October 10. KXIP needs some inspiration. They showed a lot of promise at the beginning of the tournament, but now they have lost 4 matches in a row. They are at the bottom of the points table with just one win in 6 matches. KKR has had a mixed bag so far at IPL 2020 – they won 3 and lost 2 of their 5 matches. Mayank Agarwal has had three quiet matches after starting the tournament with a bang. He’s starting out but he can’t turn them into great match-winning scores. KL Rahul has suddenly decided to play the role of accumulator and anchor, visible from his focus and drop in attack rate. This is proving to be counterproductive for KXIP, as Rahul was at his best when he was destructive, as he demonstrated against RCB with his undefeated 132 in just 69 installments. Nicholas Pooran took a look at his class against the SSR. Glenn Maxwell needs to shoot in the middle order. He has been poor at IPL 2020 scoring just 48 runs in 6 games with a hit rate of 85.71. Mohammed Shami continues to lead the KXIP attack and is its main carrier with 9 windows.
KKR needs a collective effort from their higher and middle order if they want to make the playoffs this year. Andre Russell, the most destructive hitter in IPL history, who was in devastating form at IPL 2019, has been completely out of sync in this edition. He just scored 50 runs in 4 innings at a rate of 135.13 so far. Patron, Dinesh Karthik has also failed to produce a meaningful performance and has a hit rate of just 102.08 in the tournament. Another big disappointment has been the form of Sunil Narine – he just added 44 runs in 5 innings with the highest score of 17 and strike rate of 110. Just as a prospect, Pat Cummins has scored more runs at IPL 2020 than Russell, Karthik and Narine. Narine, the bowler, has also been a part of himself. He has just chosen 3 terrains in 5 games and has also gone 8.33 above.
