KXIP vs KKR: KKR decided to bat after winning the toss

Kolkata Knight Riders and Kings XI Punjab face each other in the 24th match of IPL 2020. The match is being played between the two teams at Sheikh Zayed Cricket Stadium in Abu Dhabi. The toss has been done in the match. KKR has decided to bat after winning the toss.

In today’s match, KL Rahul is going to face Dinesh Karthik directly. The KKR team, which beat the Chennai team in the last match, has shown a good game. The Punjab team has lost in the last four matches and hence the pressure is on them to return.

KL Rahul’s team will have to win against KKR if they want to stay in the tournament. Let the batsmen do well in Punjab players, but the team’s death over bowling has been weak. There is hope for Punjab to perform well against KL Rahul and Mayank Agarwal against KKR.

Because both these players flopped in the last match and due to this the team had to face defeat. Among bowlers, Mohammed Shami is doing well for the team, while Sheldon Cottrell has been expensive, while young spinner Ravi Bishnoi has done well.

So there are selected players for him as well, Shubman Gill, Nitish Rana will be expected to perform well. Skipper Dinesh Karthik has not been able to do much with the bat but in the last match against Chennai, he captained brilliantly and used the bowlers properly.

Potential team –

Kings XI Punjab – KL Rahul (Captain), Mayank Agarwal, Mandeep Singh, Nicholas Pooran, Glenn Maxwell, Prabhasimran Singh (wicketkeeper), Hardas Viljoin, Mujib ur Rehman, Mohammed Shami, Ravi Bishnoi, Arshdeep Singh

KKR – Shubman Gill, Rahul Tripathi, Nitish Rana, Eoin Morgan, Dinesh Karthik (captain, wicketkeeper), Sunil Narine, Andre Russell, Pat Cummins, Shivam Mavi, Kamlesh Nagerkoti
