One of the favorite team of the tournament who is struggling badly in the mid of IPL after departure of their players like B.McCullum and R.Ponting now face an uphill task against King XI Punjab who are on a roll at the moment.

After two initial losses, the Yuvraj Singh-led Kings XI have been on a winning streak and continued to do well despite the exit of top Australian players like Simon Katich and pace spearhead Brett Lee from their team.

On the other hand Saurav Ganguly led Kolkata Knight Riders will be keen to get back on the winning streak to survive their chances of making it to the semi final of 1^st IPL twenty20.
