TOSS UPDATE: Rising Pune Supergiants (RPS) have won the toss and elect to bat first!
A closer look into the RPS side and it can be said that they seem to be flawless but still managed to lose their match handing GL their second successive win. The batting order did their part adding 163 on score board despite regular fall of wickets, more so after the fall of Faf du Plessis, who made 69 from 43 balls. Steven Smith and Mitchell Marsh were unable to stay longer on the crease to provide support to skipper Dhoni. RPS will want to work on their bowling department that failed to do its part against GL. KXIP so far have easily failed to live up to their full potential and have been unimpressive with their performance in every aspect.
In the first game, Shaun Marsh’s absence was hurting for the batting order, had it not been for Murali Vijay and Manan Vohra who contributed for them, whereas the bowling department failed miserably with experienced pacer like Mitchell Johnson and Pardeep Sahu conceding way too many runs. KXIP will want to work on their over all status and skipper David Miller has to prove his stance through this match.
Squads:
Kings XI Punjab: Glenn Maxwell, Shaun Marsh, David Miller (c), Manan Vohra, Murali Vijay, Nikhil Naik, Gurkeerat Singh Mann, Akshar Patel, Shardul Thakur, Mitchell Johnson, Wriddhiman Saha (wk), Anureet Singh, Sandeep Sharma, Mohit Sharma, Kyle Abbott, KC Cariappa, Marcus Stoinis, Farhaan Behardien, Pradeep Sahu, Armaan Jaffer, Swapnil Singh.
Rising Pune Supergiants: MS Dhoni (c & wk), Steven Smith, Faf du Plessis, Ajinkya Rahane, Ravichandran Ashwin, Mitchell Marsh, Ashwin Murugan, Ishant Sharma, Kevin Pietersen, Irfan Pathan, Thisara Perera, Rajat Bhatia, Ashoke Dinda, Scott Boland, Peter Handscomb, RP Singh, Adam Zampa, Ishwar Pandey, Deepak Chahar, Jaskaran Singh, Baba Aparajith, Ankush Bains, Ankit Sharma.
