RCB have been let down by some ordinary bowling in the tournament. Despite setting huge targets, they have not been able to defend them. Considering the pitch of Mohali, they would be better off chasing as there are always plenty of runs on offer at the venue.

Against RPS, they clinched a crucial victory thanks to the magical hundred by skipper Virat Kohli. He was outstanding in the game as he has been throughout the tournament. With 541 runs in just 8 innings, he is by far the leading run scorer and looks all set to break many records this year.

Chris Gayle’s performances have gone downhill which have lead to his removal from the side. With AB de Villiers and Shane Watson in the top 4, they would again back themselves to chase any total. There is still plenty of scope of improvement in the bowling department though.

For KXIP, the two Sharmas, Mohit and Sandeep were instrumental in the death bowling as they snatched the victory from the DD’s hold in the last few overs. They defeated the mighty DD by 9 runs to keep the campaign moving. Axar Patel is the other bowler who has done well for them at times.

The batting is a big concern for them as most of the international heavyweights like Glenn Maxwell and David Miller have failed miserably. In the last game only, Saha and Stoinis played good hands to help the team reach a total of 181. If only the batting had clicked a little earlier, they surely won’t have been tottering at the bottom.

The winner of the game will move up the points table and grab vital 2 points. For both teams, each game from now onwards is going to be like a do or die game. One more defeat might well bring down curtains to their hopes to qualify for the playoffs.
