IPL 6: Match 51 – KXIP vs RCB – A statistical preview

In the 10 matches played between these two teams, the win-loss ratio is fascinatingly poised at five matches apiece for Kings XI Punjab and Royal Challengers Bangalore.

In the 2011 season, both teams managed to win their respective home matches; while in the following season, it was a complete role reversal as both teams won their respective away matches.

Kings XI’s David Miller tops the batting average charts this season; he has so far scored 251 runs in six matches at an impressive average of 83.66.

Chris Gayle has to his credit three wickets in just the two overs he has sent down in the tournament so far. So beware of Chris Gayle, the bowler, as well.

Kings XI Punjab have played the least number of home games of all the nine teams at this point in time– 3.

RCB have the best run-rate of all the nine teams this season – 8.46.

What’s next in store for teams: Kings XI Punjab will stay at home to host the Rajasthan Royals on May 9 while the Royal Challengers Bangalore head to the capital to take on the Delhi Daredevils the next day.
