Kings XI Punjab have been in sublime form and although they did lose their
last clash against the Kolkata Knightriders, there is no doubting their
undoubted class and talent. Kings XI Punjab have won a mammoth nine of
their thirteen games thus yet and are certainly living up to their name. The
plethora of quality lefthanders at the top has meant easy quick runs for the
Kings XI outfit and it comes as no surprise that they have the finest net run
rate in the Indian Premier League. The likes of Shawn Marsh, Yuvraj Singh, Irfan
Pathan and Kumara Sangakkara have been nothing but sensational for the Punjab
outfit this tournament and Preity Zinta can afford to grin a smile or two upon
their performances. However, the Kings XI outfit lost their winning streak last
time around when they were washed out by an inspired Sourav Ganguly and company
at the Eden gardens. Defending a strong total of 175, the Kings XI outfit were
hammered in the final few overs and the likes of Sreesanth and Piyush Chawla
will be hoping to redeem themselves this time around. Victory here will only
be on academic interest to the Kings XI outfit and they may be anchoring a thought
or two of giving their senior players a much needed rest before the semifinals
when they come up against the irresistible Rajasthan Royals outfit.
The Rajasthan Royals have been nothing but superb all tournament and go into
this clash as the inform team of the Indian Premier League. Despite having secured
qualification a week earlier, the Royals have carried on manfully and have been
successful in denting qualification hopes of Mumbai Indians and Kolkata Knightriders.
Rajasthan Royals come into this clash on the back of a brilliant last
ball win against the Mumbai Indians last time around. Chasing a meagre total
of 149, the Royals snatched victory from the jaws of defeat and Shane Warne
will be happy to have an army of born fighters at his disposal. The Royals have
won eleven of their thirteen matches and are on an impressive six match winning
streak. Much of the success will have to go to the likes of Sohail tanvir who
is heads and shoulders above the rest of the bowling contingent in the Indian
Premier League and Shane Watson who has been the performer in the Indian Premier
League. Win or lose, Rajasthan Royals are guaranteed the top place in the Round
robin stages of the Indian premier League. However Shane Warne hates losing
and he will hoping that his troops can put up a masterful performance against
the Kings XI outfit this coming Wednesday 28th of May 2008 at the Mohali Stadium
in Chandigarh.
