Hello everyone and hopes so you are nice with your scorum blogs. Today, in my opinion, there is a big match and here I will go with the prediction and preview of this match. As we know KKR and Punjab both the team have won their first match and will be the battle of the fight. The fight will be for the point table from today as all the teams have completed their first matches and Chennai and Delhi capitals both the team have played 2 matches. I will say the real battle has been already started from yesterday as Chennai is securing the first position on the point table but will KKR able to beat Chennai or Punjab will be at 1st or 2nd position this we will be known after the completion of today's match.

KKR with their best players Andre Russel they have gone mad with their batting. As we have seen Russel last match he was gone totally a rain run on the ground against Hyderabad. And let me say you that my favourite team in this IPL format is Kolkata. But predictions and preview are not done by looking at the favourite team or like dislike. This is done with the team performance and here we are looking for that. Kolkata is playing its second match and If I will be in the team captain then probably I will go with the same team as they are in the form. With the same batting order but I think if Sunil Narine comes at the first position for batting than it will be very great for the team to get an instant startup.

Kolkata might send Sunil Narine at the first position but make sure he got an injury at last match so he will play or not will depend on the doctor's team. So we should include him in the team as it is risky but if he plays than normally he takes one wicket and scores the good run. As we know last year he scored 50 runs in 14 balls which are highest scoring 50 by any player in the t-20 format. So these things should be kept in mind before selecting the team for fantasy. But if you are betting on any platform then I would say do batting on KKR as they are in the form and with their good performance their winning chance is good.

Punjab on the other side with the best batsman Chris Gayle is in the form. As last time Gayle scored 79 runs in the opening of the first match they played. So I feel this will be the time again to show that Gayle is playing its last IPL and hope so he gets more and more runs in the pockets before living. So KKR should focus on the wicket of Gayle and if they get in the earliest 5 overs than their winning chance would be great. And we know the bowling of KKR is very much strong enough to get Chris Gayle out. The fully focus on the team will be on Gayle because no one can forget the 175 runs he scored in a match in the full form of the team. The captain of the team is also in the form but somewhat the issue that happens last time have demotivated him with his full mood. So KKR can take benefit of it and we know Dinesh Kartik is a brilliant Captain and he knows how to handle every situation.

Thank you for reading my blog. I hope you like the prediction and previews. Please comment and tell me what are your picks for today match.
