Considering that IPL 2020 is into its business end and how these two teams are perhaps fighting for the same spot, expect this match to be a cracker of a contest at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium which will might give a hint of teams qualifying for the playoffs.

While Kolkata would be waiting for all-rounder Andre Russell’s injury status, fans of Punjab will have eyes on the status of opening batsman Mayank Agarwal.

The last time Knight Riders and Kings XI had locked horns against each other was more than two weeks ago in Abu Dhabi.

It was the same match when Knight Riders pacer Prasidh Krishna (4-0-29-3) and all-rounder Sunil Narine (4-0-28-2) had dominated with the ball after the then captain Dinesh Karthik scored 58 (29).
