Kings XI Punjab are at a crossroads in their 2015 IPL campaign and after enduring seven defeats in their first nine matches, only a miracle can turn things around for the bottom-placed side. Against Royal Challengers Bangalore on Wednesday, they would hope for better fortunes against a side that has arrested its own slide to stay in contention for a place in the Playoffs.
A hiccup against Chennai Super Kings snapped the healthy momentum Royal Challengers Bangalore had gathered, but their recent form is a sign of positivity. In the sapping heat of Chennai, Royal Challengers Bangalore fluffed their opportunity to chase down a modest total but back in the familiar surroundings of the M Chinnaswamy Stadium and against a team that is on a four-game losing streak, Virat Kohli's men would be confident of taking one step closer to a last-four finish.
Subject to weather conditions - thunderstorms are forecast for Wednesday evening - the stadium produces high-scoring contests and this should be no different. The last game was reduced to a 10-over contest but it didn't stop both sides from scoring 100-plus totals with the team batting second winning it.
