Former champions and hosts Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) opener Robin Uthappa was unfortunately run out for impressive 70, against visitors Kings XI Punjab (KXIP), in Match 32 of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2016, at the historic Eden Gardens Stadium in Kolkata on Wednesday. It was a good length delivery from Mohit Sharma, as Yusuf played the ball slow and staright, but Uthappa was way ahead with the run, and had hardly any time to return back, as Mohit was clean with the hit. Currently, KKR are 138 for the loss of two wickets in 17 overs, with Yusuf Pathan on 12 and Andre Russell coming in.

Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) host Kings XI Punjab (KXIP) in Match 32 of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2016 at Eden Gardens in Kolkata on Wednesday. KKR are currently placed second on the points table, while KXIP are languishing at the bottom. However, both teams are coming off hard-fought victories so their confidence will be high. KKR pulled off an improbable chase against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) after Andre Russell and Yusuf Pathan combined to wipe out the total. Meanwhile, KXIP defeated table-toppers Gujarat Lions (GL) after Akshar Patel spun them out with a superb spell of left-arm spin bowling.

On the whole, the match ought to be a fairly straightforward one for KKR. They are by far the better team and in much better form. It will be wrong to write off KXIP completely, but given the way both teams have played so far, it ought to be an easy win for KKR at home.
