The 24th match of the ongoing 13th season of the Indian Premier League will be played between Kings XI Punjab and Kolkata Knight Riders in Abu Dhabi tomorrow.
Having lost five out of their six matches so far, Kings XI are reeling at the bottom of the points table. Desperate to get their act together, Punjab will fall in the must-win territory if they lose at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium tomorrow.
Knight Riders, on the other hand, are at the fourth position on the back of four victories in their five matches till now. Considering how KKR captain Dinesh Karthik utilized all-rounder Sunil Narine in their last match against Chennai Super Kings, it will be interesting to see where and when Narine bats and bowls tomorrow.
When you see the fixture list and realise tomorrow is an afternoon game. 😲@RealShubmanGill #KKRHaiTaiyaar #Dream11IPL pic.twitter.com/D5jH6Cqylw

The last time when Punjab and Kolkata faced each other was in an IPL 2019 league match at the PCA Cricket Stadium in Mohali. Despite all-rounder Sam Curran scoring a hard-hitting 55* (24) with the help of seven fours and two sixes, KXIP ended up on the losing side after they failed to defend a 184-run target.
The visitors had sealed the chase in 18 overs on the back of opening batsman Shubman Gill scoring a confident 65* (49).
