IPL 2020: Kolkata and Punjab fight it out for Playoff Spot | Will Russell and Mayank play?

In Match 46 of Indian Premier League 2020, Kings XI Punjab and Kolkata Knight Riders will be up against each other at Sharjah Cricket stadium. With three teams-Mumbai Indians, Delhi Capitals and Royal Challengers Bangalore almost certain to qualify for the playoffs, this is a very important match for the sides as both of them are competing for 4th spot to qualify for the playoffs. Both the teams won their last contest and would be coming here on a high. After struggling initially, Kings XI have made a remarkable comeback this season with 4 wins on the trot which includes victory against teams like Mumbai, Delhi and Bangalore who occupy the top 3 positions in the Points Table.

KKR vs KXIP Match 1
Previous match between these two sides was also a very close contest as KKR managed to clinch victory from the jaws of defeat. KKR won by just 2 runs and Kings 11 will now look to even the score this season. Dinesh Karthik played a match winning knock and this time also KKR will need special innings from someone if they want to defeat this Kings XI Punjab which looks unbeatable now. After being defeated by Kolkata Knight Riders, Kings 11 Punjab have won 4 consecutive matches and  is now looking a completely different side.
