IPL 2020: KXIP vs KKR head-to-head stats and numbers you need to know before Match 24
After suffering four losses on the trot, Kings XI Punjab will look to return to winning ways when they collide with the Kolkata Knight Riders in their seventh match of IPL 2020.
The Mohali-based franchise have won only one of their first six games, and a defeat against KKR will make their next seven games 'must-win' encounters. KL Rahul and his team will surely want to avoid that situation.
However, given how KKR have performed so far in IPL 2020, the Dinesh Karthik-led outfit will start as the favorites to win this game.
The Knight Riders have won three of their first five games and registered victories over the Rajasthan Royals, the Chennai Super Kings, and the Sunrisers Hyderabad.
KKR and KXIP previously faced off in the IPL 2014 final and have been a part of many memorable encounters since 2008.
We look at the head-to-head stats between the two teams before they battle in IPL 2020.
