For Kings XI Punjab, the only consistent part of the line-up has been the openers with everyone else failing to perform up-to the mark. David Miller, Glenn Maxwell and Shaun Marsh have been flops so far, with Marcus Stoinis not been given a chance to play in the team. Their bowling has also followed the same pattern with leaking runs in almost every match.
For SRH, likes of Shikhar Dhawan, David Warner, Eoin Morgan look as a line up that is ready to take on any bowling attack in the IPL. Warner have scored three half-centuries in the four matches, with Dhawan seemed to have found his touch with the bat following an unbeaten fifty in the previous match against Gujarat Lions (GL).
