CL T20 - Group B
Match# 13
Kings XI Punjab (KXIP) v Northern Districts (ND)
The equation of the match is very simple.
KXIP's batting v ND's bowling. Which one will Stand Up or Fail?
KXIP are very inconsistent with the bat, but their batting depth has been saving them. Finally the fatigue has started showing it's presence on ND, their bowling looks shaky now.
Except Perera nobody looks good on the bowling front of KXIP. ND has worries with Boult leaking runs.
Deciding Factor
The venue is Mohali and it's an evening match. Dew factor was a big issue in the last match. So the chasing team has an advantage.
If KXIP chases, the NDs strong suit (Bowling) is expected to suffer. If ND chases, KXIP does not have enough bowling to stop them.
So its finally based on what score is optimum. I feel that 175-190+ is only the safer score for the team Batting First. 140-170s is very risky.
Tip
To be updated after Toss and Squad announcements
Update
Not many changes in the squads. Northerns are chasing. Still not convinced because of the way the previous match went. Chasing teams have won 5 matches in a row in Mohali now. Wait and watch. To be updated again after the end of KXIP innings.
