KXIP wins thriller by 9 wickets
Excellent from Chris Gayle and KXIP to bring their second win of the tournament and keep themselves alive in the IPL 2020. Skipper KL Rahul also contributed with a steely half century.
That's that from Sharjah. What a nail-biting finish as #KXIP win by 8 wickets.#Dream11IPL pic.twitter.com/9CHukKlTjO

10.55pm
KXIP-170/1 after 19 overs; need more 2 from 6
10.49pm
Morris bowls the 18th. Stretches the batsman, but has too little to work with now. A couple of wides called in his over. Just 4 runs from his over. He finishes with 0/22. KXIP-165/1 after 18 overs; need more 7 from 12 balls
10.44pm
Fifty for Gayle; KXIP cruise towards win
Gayle lays into Sundar as RCB go to their trusted off spinner for the 17th, still not bowling Morris and Chahal. Some questionable tactical decisions from RCB today. Pushing ABD down the order in the first innings, and now holding back their best bowlers till it’s too late. Two sixes smashed in the over down the ground by Gayle. KXIP-162/1 after 17 overs
FIFTY!
What a half-century this from the Universe Boss. He has arrived in #Dream11IPL 2020, in style 😎😎

Costly over from RCB
Siraj goes for a costly over again; leaks 20 runs. Really poor stuff from Siraj and no wonder he went for runs. Kohli is unhappy. He knows the game is now in Punjab’s hands. KXIP-146/1 after 16 overs; need more 26 from 24 balls
10.32pm
Saini to Gayle. He goes for the big shot again in the fifth ball but fails. So a dot and a single to end the over. Excellent one from Saini. KXIP-126/1 after 15 overs; need more 48 from 30 balls
10.25pm
Fifty for KL Rahul
Rahul gets his 20th IPL fifty with a single. The skipper delivers yet again with the bat. Four runs from the over.
Captain @klrahul11 brings up a well made half-century off 37 deliveries.
His 20th in IPL and fourth in #Dream11IPL 2020.

10.23pm
Anti climax for RCB
Lbw. Gayle reviews. Decision reversed
Morris goes for his yorker against Gayle. He beats the batsman and the ball hits the boot. Umpire raises his finger but Gayle takes the review. Replay shows the ball hits the bat before hitting his foot so that’s not out. Gayle survives.
10.21pm
6,6,6
Sundar continues his spell. His first bad ball in two matches and Gayle ensures he gets all six runs. So easily he clears the straight boundary. He goes for another big hit and he’s successful in this attempt as well. Another six off the final ball. Costly over from Washington. KXIP-119/1 after 13 overs
10.18pm
Siraj goes for a beating; back to back sixes from Rahul
Siraj bowls the 12th. The boundaries have dried up altogether. Even Rahul is only finding the fielders in the deep. Gayle struggling to find his timing. Rahul gets two in the slot, picks up two consecutive overpitched ball from Siraj for two back to back sixes. KXIP-103/1 after 12 overs; need more 69 from 48 balls
10.13pm
Washington Sundar to Rahul and the batsman takes a quick single. Gayle is beaten in the single ball, quicker one from Sundar. Three singles from final three balls. So the Universe Boss has been kept silent, for now. KXIP-88/1 after 11 overs
10.08pm
We are at the halfway mark
Saini bowls the 10th. Tests Gayle with express pace. Just 2 runs off his over. RCB are pulling things back now. KXIP-84/1 after 10 overs

Chris Gayle for the first time this season. He’s off with a single in the off-side. KL Rahul tries to scoop one against Washington Sundar but he fails in the execution. Gayle takes a single off the final ball. KXIP-82/1 after 9 overs; need more 90 from 66 balls
10.02pm
Chahal comes back into the attack. Chahal shows a big heart to bowl another flighted ball to Mayank after getting smashed for a six. He backed his ability and got the wicket of Mayank, who was looking so good in the middle. KXIP-78/1 after 8 overs
10pm
Chahal draws first blood
Lovely from Chahal. Another flighted delivery, Mayank tries another big hit but misses it and the stumps are broken.
Bowled! Chahal gets the breakthrough and Mayank Agarwal departs after a brilliant 45.

9.31pm
Navdeep Saini to Rahul. A dot delivery to start the over. After the four, Rahul cuts the third delivery but the ball is too close for that kind of shot. Inside edge for no run. Rahul then drives on the backfoot but Kohli, at point, does well to save four runs. Four dots to end the over. KXIP-6/0 after 2 overs

We are underway with KXIP’s chase
Agarwal, Rahul walks out to bat; Morris to ball first over.
9.06pm
Costly final over from Shami
Shami comes in to bowl the last over. Leaks a massive 24 runs. Kings XI Punjab bowlers did almost everything right till 19 overs but Shami’s costly over can come back and haunt RCB later. RCB-171/6 after 20 overs
24 runs in the final over off Shami as #RCB post a total of 171/6 on the board.

Jordan continues. Three singles off the first three balls. After the six, Jordan does well to concede a dot. He sees Morris making room and bowls wide outside off. A single to end the over. 10 off this one. One over remaining. RCB-147/6 after 19 overs
8.56pm
Shami is back and he makes two clinical breakthroughs to remove De Villiers and Kohli. Chris Morris and Isuru Udana are at the crease. Hugely successful over for Shami. RCB-137/6 after 18 overs
Two big wickets for @MdShami11 in an over. ABD and Kohli depart.
How crucial will this turn out to be for #KXIP?

8.03pm
Murugan Ashwin to Kohli. Ball keeps low but the skipper manages to cut it for a single. The spinner does really well to beat Finch’s bat and break the stumps.

KXIP’s big-money signing Maxwell explains reason behind his string of poor show
Australian big-hitter Glenn Maxwell has attributed his inconsistent run in the IPL 2020 due to frequent changes in his role, something that is very clear to him when playing for his country.
The 31-year-old Kings XI Punjab batsman came to the IPL on the back of a successful tour of England, where he smashed a 90-ball 108 batting at number seven to script a memorable series-winning run chase alongside Alex Carey.
Speaking to PTI from Dubai, the Victorian explained why he has realised his potential while playing for Australia and the reason for his inconsistent run in the IPL.
“I probably would not (compare IPL and Australia career). The way I have played international cricket, it has been more of a clearer role. I know exactly how the guys will bat around me,” he said.

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola eager to learn from Virat Kohli
Guardiola does not mind knowing more about the game from none other than current India and Royal Challengers Bangalore skipper Virat Kohli. “It must be an attractive sport in some way but you need to understand it. Next time we’ve to watch a football and cricket game together. I want to learn your game and promise me it’s going to happen,” Guardiola told Kohli during during a virtual interactive event organised by Puma India.
4.27pm
Will Maxwell be dropped?
The big question is- How will KXIP lineup tonight?
Benching a yet to fire Glenn Maxwell is one option or the team can bring Gayle at the expense of an overseas bowler and replace him with the available Indian talent. Barring Mohammad Shami and Ravi Bishnoi, none of the bowlers have inspired confidence, especially in the death overs. Not being able to find the right balance despite trying out many options has also contributed to KXIP’s rapid slide.
4.05pm
RCB eye hattrick of wins
RCB have won their previous two matches and they occupy third spot with 10 points. Both Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers are in form but it’s their bowlers who impressed in their previous match.
Bowling on a tough Sharjah pitch, RCB bowlers did a phenomenal job against Kolkata Knight Riders. Spinners Washington Sundar and Yuzvendra Chahal were outstanding in their spells as they RCB and will once again be expected to deliver tonight!

2.15pm
Three Kings XI Punjab (KXIP) players who can overturn their poor fortunes:
KL Rahul: Currently leading the runs chart in IPL 2020, the KXIP skipper’s form has not been a true reflection of his side’s form in the ongoing season. The wicketkeeper-batsman has already grabbed 387 runs from seven matches, having grabbed a ton and three fifties.
Chris Gayle: The swashbuckling batsman hasn’t played in a single game this season, and also recently recovered from a stomach. He will be featuring against RCB, as confirmed by him. During the 2019 season, he grabbed 490 runs, at a strike rate of 153.60. He also slammed 45 fours and 34 sixes.
Mohammed Shami: Leading the KXIP bowling unit, the Indian pacer will be tasked with helping his side grab their second win of IPL 2020. Shami has been decent in the ongoing season, registering 10 wickets from seven matches, at an economy of 8.36.
1.52pm
Best Powerplay bowler of IPL 2020
Seven matches on, Washington Sundar or Washi as he is popularly called, is second on the list of bowlers with the best economy rate – 4.9. The 21-year-old has taken five wickets so far, but more than the wickets, it is his effectiveness with the new ball in the Powerplay that has made the batsmen wary of him. Can KXIP find a way around Washi’s web?
A dream for us and a nightmare for the opposition.

It also marked KXIP’s only win this season and they will be looking to take a lot of confidence from that.

Will we see Gayle in action today?
Senior Kings XI Punjab batsman Chris Gayle has hinted that he may get his first IPL game of the season against Royals Challengers Bangalore on Thursday, having recovered from a bout of food poisoning.
Head coach Anil Kumble had said that the team could not play Gayle against Sunrisers Hyderabad last week because he was down with food poisoning.
The UniverseBoss was also seen hitting the nets last night. Can he turnaround KXIP’s fortunes as they currently languish at the bottom place in the IPL 2020 points table.
He’s back in the nets! 💪🏻

Royal Challengers Bangalore Probable XI: Devdutt Padikkal, Aaron Finch, Virat Kohli (c), AB de Villiers (wk), Shivam Dube, Chris Morris, Isuru Udana, Washington Sundar, Navdeep Saini, Mohammed Siraj, Yuzvendra Chahal
Kings XI Punjab Gayle announced he has recovered from his stomach bug and given the state of Punjab’s campaign and Sharjah serving a pitch most conducive for top-order players, the time is ripe for KXIP to introduce one of the stalwarts of the tournament. That means Mujeeb Ur Rahman is likely to miss out. Gayle’s inclusion will also mean one of Pooran or Rahul will have to take back the ‘keeping gloves from Prabhsimran Singh.
Probable XI:Chris Gayle, KL Rahul (c), Mayank Agarwal, Nicholas Pooran (wk), Glenn Maxwell/James Neesham, Mandeep Singh, Chris Jordan, Mohammed Shami, Murugan Ashwin/K Gowtham, Ravi Bishnoi, Arshdeep Singh
RCB are on the third spot in the points table with 10 points against their name while KXIP are at the bottom of the standings, seeking a much needed move up the points table.
KXIP’s only win this season came against RCB when KL Rahul set the stage on fire to set up his team’s 97-run win and they will be looking to take a lot of confidence from that. RCB, on the other hand, will be eager to settle the scores in these two teams’ second clash of IPL 2020.
Approaching Milestones
- Virat Kohli needs 6 fours and 3 sixes respectively to complete 500 fours and 200 sixes in IPL.
- AB de Villiers requires 48 runs to complete 4000 IPL runs for RCB. He also is 3 catches away from completing 100 IPL catches.
- KL Rahul needs 136 runs and 9 sixes respectively to complete 2500 IPL runs and 100 IPL sixes.
- Chris Gayle requires 16 runs to complete 4500 IPL runs.
