Posted: 14 Apr 2013 01:38 AM PDT

Indian Premier League  has quite changed what we used to call cricket and moreover T20 format. There is always more to be expected from the IPL seasons, this time there is more fun on the go  for people as Sunrisers is making the IPL 6 more interesting.

In the next IPL match Rajasthan Royals who faced an unbelievable and somewhat unpredictable  defeat against Pune Warriors  will be really serious about not to give and loose ends in hands of Kings XI Punjab.  Royals  will be keen on shredding off all the negativities and give a tough fight to Punjab at Sawai Mansingh stadium, Jaipur in the 18th IPL match.

Match venue and date

Rajasthan Royals and Kings XI will face each other in the 18th IPL match starting at 8:00 pm o April 14, 2013 at Sawai Mansingh stadium, Jaipur.

Rajasthan Royals

In this match for Royals Ajinkya Rahane will be crucial name. The batsman has being impressive in the IPL season with a consecutive score of 30, 36 and 38 in the matches so far.  Apart from him the captain himself is not going to spare anyone. Rahul Dravid who has already two 50s on his name is leading the Royals which is considered to be a team with limited options very well. Kusal Perera who has not impressed fans so far is doubtful to be present in this match. Shane Watson is likely to be in the team. Stuart Binny, James Faulkner and Kevon Cooper are the names that are sure to be on the list.

On the bowling front Rajasthan’s last match performance was not at all convincing and entirely direction less which gave Pune Warriors a lead against them. Sreesanth's 38 out of 16 balls was a hammering innings for Royals. In the spinner department Harmeet Singh's experimentation is not showing the desired results so there will be inclusion of either Brad Hogg or Ajit Chandila. But the pitch this match is to be played on will again be in highlights as before then Pacers will be show stealers here.

Kings XI Punjab

Kings XI Punjab is a team hanging by a thin string. Their performance in the last two matches is beyond perceivable limits. In the first match they clinched an 8 wickets win against Pune but in the second one got smashed by 10 wickets by Super Kings on their home ground.  Only player who was spectacular on ground was David Hussey who scored 41 runs score. Chief Coach of the team, Darren Lehmann will definitely be looking forward to rotate the strike during the mid hours of the play.

The team no doubt has talented players like Mandeep Singh and  Manan Vohra  who must be the pick of Captain Adam Gilchrist. All rounder Azhar Mahmood, is also an important name in the players list. Paul Valthaty has taken a back seat that  was the hall of fame for his  2011 IPL , 100. On the bowling front spinners Parvinder Awana, Ryan Harris and Praveen Kumar are  well suited for Kings XI team. Piyush Chawla is working magic as usual with his googly deliveries.

Probable Team Squads

Rajasthan Royals: R Dravid(c), K Perera (or) S Watson, A Rahane, S Binny, B Hodge, D Yagnik, J Faulkner (or) B Hogg, K Cooper, S Sreesanth, Harmeet Singh (or) A Chandila, S Trivedi

Kings XI Punjab: A Gilchrist (c), M Singh, M Vohra, D Hussey, G Singh, A Mahmood, R Satish, R Harris, P Kumar, P Chawla, P Awana

Kolkata Knight Riders vs. Sunrisers Hyderabad Live Score : IPL 2013 Match 17

Posted: 14 Apr 2013 01:34 AM PDT

Sunrisers Hyderabad will take on the last year's winner Kolkata Knight Riders in the 17th IPL 6 match  at the Eden Gardens, Kolkata. Looking at the performance of Sunrisers in the last match where Daredevils almost set them on the back foot, Kolkata must be looking forward to clinch easy win against them on their  home ground.

At the same time the bowling performance of Sunrisers in the match is an alarming signal and showcase of the potential of  the team to KKR. If we talk about Knight riders they not managed to get any other success after defeating Daredevils in the curtain raiser match.

Match Date and Venue

Kolkata will be taking on Sunrisers on their famous home ground Eden Gardens on April 14, 2013 in the 17th IPL match starting at 4:00 pm.

Kolkata Knight Riders

Captain Gautam Gambhir, is the only name that seems to be driving the KKR team this season. His total score of 122 runs out of total 3 matched played so far is the stat that seems impressive  amidst of all other major players trembling.

Other players like Yusuf Pathan, Manvinder Bisla and Manoj Tiwary  are still to put up their best play o auction in the season. On the other side Eoin Morgan who has  the potential is still not proving to be beneficial for the team. All rounder Jacques Kallis this time who will be seen to be replaced by  Brendan McCullum, has not delivered his best for Kolkata and team needs someone to take one the batting order of the team more responsibly.

In the balling section Brett Lee is likely to be in for Ryan McLaren who got easily hammered by  the batsmen of Royal Challengers. Also another  bowler who felt the heat of Gayle's bat in the match was Pradeep Sangwan who swapped Laxmi Ratan Shukla. In the middle over section bowlers Rajat Bhatia and Lakshmipathy Balaji are important names. Sunil Narine is a name that provides strength to KKR's bowling restricting opponents.

Sunrisers Hyderabad

The just over the boundary play of Sunrisers is not going to be enough to provide a lead over Kolkata. The team is  having troubles with their opening  players. There is a need for the veterans to interfere ad work out a solution for the issue. Captain Kumara Sangakkara along with Cameron White and all rounder Thisara Perera are the names that are the real strength of the teams play but still their last match's play put doubts on them. Newbie Hanuma Vihari is going well and is the assisting ground for these senior players.

In bowling Ishant Sharma and Dale Steyn are showcasing a perfect play as expected from them. On the opening front Steyn easily restricted Daredevils and the Ishant put up a full stop by taking wickets of  Jayawerdene and Sehwag. Thisara Perera and Anand Rajan are aptly supporting the duo in bowling. Amit Mishra's last 1 for 15 play in 4 overs makes him an asset for the team.

Probable Team Squads

Kolkata Knight Riders : G Gambhir(c), J Kallis or B Mccullum, M Tiwary, M Bisla(wk),  Y Pathan, R Bhatia, R Mclaren or B Lee, E Morgan, L R Shukla, L Balaji or P Sangwan, S Narine

Sunrisers Hyderabad: K Sangakkara(c), C White, H Vihari, T Perera, A Reddy, P Patel(wk), A Reddy, A Mishra, D Steyn, I Sharma
