Kings Eleven Punjab will take on Kolkata Knight Riders in the 24th match of IPL 2020. Kings XI Punjab have been on a horrendous run in the tournament, while KKR have fared quite well, with 3 wins in 5 games. Given the recent performances of both the sides, KKR have an upper hand over KL Rahul and Co.
Kings XI Punjab:
Despite performing good with the bat and bowled well in the power play overs, Kings XI Punjab haven’t had too much success in terms of results. Their bowlers once again disappointed them in the last game against SRH. For Punjab to make a comeback in the tournament, the bowling unit has to come good on Saturday.
Here are a few key players that you should add in your fantasy dream11 team:
- KL Rahul
KL Rahul didn’t score too many in the last game but has been in a terrific form with the bat. Expect him to continue with his good run and score another handy knock for the side on Saturday.
- Mayank Agarwal
He, unfortunately, got run out in the last game. Agarwal has fared well in the tournament. Once he gets going, Agarwal makes sure he plays a big knock and thus shouldn’t be missing out on him in your fantasy team.
- Nicholas Pooran
Nicholas Pooran played a sensational knock of 77 runs off 37 balls in the last game against SRH. He brought be the fastest half-century of the season during that innings. Ahead of the game against KKR, expect him to replicate another such knock.
Kolkata Knight Riders:
Kolkata Knight Riders deserve a lot of credit for snatching victory from the jaws of defeat against CSK in their last game. It will give them a lot of confidence going ahead in the tournament. They are currently sitting at the fourth position in the points table with 3 wins in 5 games.
Here are a few key players that you should add in your fantasy dream11 team:
- Rahul Tripathi
Rahul Tripathi was send up the order in the last game and he made excellent use of that opportunity. He has played two outstanding knocks in his last two games and would be a player to watch out for in the next game against KXIP.
- Andre Russell
Andre Russell has been the biggest disappointment for KKR this season. The West Indian all-rounder is yet to make an impression with the bat. Though, he is bowling quite well at the moment. He would fetch you points from both bat and ball.
- Shubman Gill
Shubman Gill hasn’t turned out with good numbers in the last couple of games but is in decent touch. Given that he opens the batting and will have full 20 overs to make use of, he should be in your fantasy XI.
