KXIP vs KKR IPL 2020, Match 24 Live Match

Dream11 IPL 2020 Live Score, King XI Punjab (KXIP) vs Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR): Hello everyone! And welcome to our live coverage from the Match No. 24 of the IPL 2020. It’s the weekend and you know what that means: Double-Header! In the first match of Saturday, Kings XI Punjab will be taking on Kolkata Knight Riders at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi.

KL Rahul-led KXIP are yet to find their bearings. They have now lost five of their six matches and find themselves languishing at the bottom of the points table. We are no more at that stage where a defeat or two wouldn’t be a cause for alarm. From hereon, every win/defeat matters and could potentially make or break a team’s chances to make the playoffs.

With just a single win from six games, KXIP seem to be over-reliant on skipper Rahul, opener Mayank Agarwal and pace bowler Mohammad Shami. Barring the trio, the rest of the players have failed to click.

Nicholas Pooran showed signs of the destruction he could cause in the middle-order in the game against SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH) but the Caribbean player needs to be consistent. Other hard-hitters like Glenn Maxwell have been completely silent so far.

In the bowling department, Shami has led from the front with nine wickets from six games. Arshdeep Singh and Sheldon Cottrell need to be consistent. Spin duo Ravi Bishnoi and Mujeeb Ur Rahman will be key.

The Dinesh Karthik-led KKR have six points from five games and will aim to consolidate their position in the top four of the points-table.
