We are almost at the halfway stage of the Dream11 Indian Premier League and going by the looks of it, the second half is going to be equally exciting. On an action-packed Saturday, we have two games lined up and the first of them involves the Kings XI Punjab and the Kolkata Knight Riders.
With a win needed in virtually every game, the road looks tough for KL Rahul and company who have anyone to blame themselves for the close losses that they have faced in the season. On the other hand, the Knight Riders are coming on the back of an incredible victory over the Chennai Super Kings. A mouth-watering contest is certainly on the cards.

Pitch Report:
The pitch at the Sheikh Zayed stadium should play as an even surface for both bat and ball. The pacers have had a good time in the last few games with some help off the surface. In addition to getting extra bounce, there has been some swing on offer initially in the previous matches.
Similarly, the spinners would also get the ball to skid off the surface with the occasional ball that turns and makes life uncomfortable for the batsmen in the middle. A score of around 160-170 could prove to be competitive.
