The Kings XI Punjab have had a rampaging campaign in this edition of the IPL and will look to end on 22 points from 14 matches. Punjab will play in-form KKR in the play-offs and this match will serve as a perfect platform. DD meanwhile have been the weakest and most non-performing team of the season. Their four points from 13 matches tell the story. The whole unit have performed badly but DD will like to do the impossible against KXIP and sign off with a victory. Punjab`s star-studded batsmen have been in scintillating form and the team`s old warhorse Virender Sehwag has also, of late, been reminding about his batting prowess.
