Posted: 05 May 2013 09:57 PM PDT

The team Kings XI Punjab will be in yet another encounter that can result in their defeat against the Royal Challengers in the 51st IPL 6 match. Punjab team is not in a good position and after their last defeat against the Super Kings they will be finding it difficult to make a comeback. With only 8 points into their score they need to buckle up big time to make a lead here.

On the other side Royal Challengers Bangalore is a team that is really high on its spirits and after their last win over the Pune Warriors they will be looking out for a win this time as well.

Match Venue and Date

In the 51st IPL Kings XI Punjab will be hosting Royal Challengers Bangalore at the Punjab Cricket Association Stadium, Mohali in Chandigarh. The match will be played on May 6, 2013 starting at 8:00 pm.

Kings XI Punjab

The Kings XI Punjab team can now no longer just rely on David Miller to perform for the win of the team alone. The other major player has to take on their responsibility and perform their part well. In their last battle against the Chennai Super Kings apart from Shaun Marsh, none of the batsmen were able to impressive face the Chennai bowling order. In the middle overs David Hussey is the major player and he needs to brush up his play. Again the trio Manan Vohra, Mandeep Singh and Gurkeerat Singh will have the most of the responsibility to lead Kings XI for a win. Adam Gilchrist may be making a comeback against out of order Luke Pomersbach in the team.

In bowing Manpreet Gony and Praveen Kumar  who have a brilliant past bowling record seem to lose their rhythm against the CSK team and proved to be little expensive. However Parvinder Awana is the player who again proved his worth in the team. Piyush Chawla has the potential he just needs to take care of the line and length of his deliveries. Inclusion of Azhar Mahmood in the bowing order may make some better tem play this time.

Royal Challengers Bangalore

Royal Challengers is not a team that can be easily faced with. The presence of Jamaican juggernaut Chris Gayle in the team does add weightage to the team's batting order. On the other side Captain Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers are also deadly batsmen who can devastate any bowling order with their batting. Looking at the similarity between the Mohali and Bangalore pitch, Gayle can prove to be a serious threat for the Punjab team. Saurabh Tiwary is also regaining his rhythm aside the major players in the team.

In bowling Vinay Kumar with 18 wickets from 11 matches is a consistent performer. Also RP Singh with his Yorkers is easily being able to trouble the batsmen. Inclusion of Jaidev Unadkat will relieve Henriques from bowling who proved to be pretty expensive against the Pune team. Going by the nature of the Mohali pitch Ravi Rampaul may be replacing Muttiah Muralitharan this time. Also Murali Kartik will be there in the spin section.

Probable Team Squad

Kings XI Punjab: D Hussey(c), S Marsh, M Singh, M Vohra, D Miller, G Singh (wk), A Mahmood (or) L Pomersbach, P Kumar, P Chawla, M Gony, P Awana
