IPL 2020: Final hope for KXIP

Rajasthan Royals put an end to the Kings XI Punjab success streak on Friday. Kings XI Punjab heads into a clash with Chennai Super Kings on Sunday. The current game is very important for Kings XI Punjab as it can help them stay close to their playoff chances. Chennai Super Kings will play to keep the fans happy with a win but it would not make any change to the team’s journey in the Indian Premier League. It is a crucial match for KXIP and they will have to put all the efforts into winning the game.

Overall, the two teams played 22 games in the tournament. KXIP won 9 games and CSK won 13 games. Earlier this season, when two teams played, Chennai Super Kings won the game. This time, the team might not register another victory, considering their poor form. KXIP will be looking at taking revenge and also aim at giving a tough fight for other teams for the playoffs. Both teams played 13 games in the tournament. CSK won 5 games and KXIP won 6 games.

Chennai Super Kings should allow all the youngsters to play without any tension. Already, Ruthuraj Gaikwad proved the spark in him. Jagadheesan is a good player too. Shane Watson, Jadeja, and others should rest for this final game. KXIP will rely heavily on their batsmen, especially, KL Rahul and Gayle. The batsmen and bowlers are playing well and it will be an easy win for them if they put in complete efforts.
