Posted: 08 May 2013 09:55 PM PDT

The season is hot this time for the IPL lovers  with teams simply  performing in a highly unpredictable manner this season.  Now it's time  for another encounter to witness where Pune Warriors will be taking on to Kolkata Knight Riders in the 56th IPL 6 match. But this time both the teams are coming after facing defeat in their last matches. While Pune lost it against the Rajasthan team in the 50th IPL match, Kolkata got battered badly by the Mumbai Indians in the 53rd Match.

This match is crucial for both these teams as one  they simply cannot afford to take on more defeats on their part.

Match Venue and Date

Kolkata Knight Riders and Pune Warriors will be fighting it out in the 56th IPL match. The game will be played at  Subrata Roy Sahara Stadium, Pune on May 9, 2013 starting at 8:00 pm.

Kolkata Knight Riders

Kolkata Knight Riders once again succumbed to their flaws  in the last match. Mumbai Indians simply smashed the team with a defeat of  65  runs. After making an impressive comeback playing against the Royals KKR is again on a low. Batting woes are again and again coming up against the team while Captain Gautam Gambhir has not made any worthy changes in the team order. In batting Eoin Morgan and Manvinder Bisla are the only ones those impress fans with their play consistently.

In bowling last play show stealers were not so successful this time around. S Senanayake, S Narine and Iqbal Abdulla  in starting and in the last death overs Yusuf Pathan  need to perform more hardly.

Pune Warriors

Now placed at the bottom of the IPL ranking chart there is not much left for the team this time. After losing against Royals in the last match Team has added to their miseries. Captain Aaron Finch has no significant options in the batting order to count on. Also the former skipper Mathews along with Yuvraj Singh are consistently non functional that is adding to the woes of the team. There is need for  a better play  from the batsmen while the stakes are still high. However Robin Uthappa has being able to put up some impressive play for the team.  In the bowling department Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Ashok Dinda and Rahul Sharma along with Kane Richardson need to strengthen the team's bowling order for better performance.

Probable Team Squad

Kolkata Knight Riders: G Gambhir, M Bisla(wk), J Kallis (or) B Mccullum, D Das, R Bhatia, Y Pathan, E Morgan, S Narwal, B Lee (or) S Senanayake, S Narine, L Balaji

Pune Warriors: A Finch(c), R Uthappa(wk), T Suman(or) M Pandey, A Mendis(or) K Richardson, Y Singh, S Smith, A Mathews (or) L Wright, A Nayar, B Kumar, R Sharma, A Dinda(or) I Pandey

Kings XI Punjab vs. Rajasthan Royals Live Score IPL Match 55 Preview & Updates

Posted: 08 May 2013 09:48 PM PDT

The last inning that Kings XI Punjab played against the Royal Challengers Bangalore was really astonishing. Show stealer was the one man army David Miller who made his team easily chases the score of 190 runs. However the stakes are really high for the team with only 5 wins out of 11 matches on their part. Rajasthan Royals on the other side are placed at second position in the IPL ranking and will not be an easy team to handle for the  Kings XI Punjab.

Looking at the much unpredictable surprises  this IPL season there are not much to be counted on.

Match Venue and Date

Kings XI Punjab will be fighting it out against the Rajasthan Royals in the 55th IPL 6 match. The match will be played on May 9, 2013 starting at 4:00 pm at the Punjab Cricket Association Stadium, Mohali.

Kings XI Punjab

Absence of the former skipper Adam Gilchrist has made the team Kings XI regains its balance and their last inning showed this. Majestic in the last play, David Miller is the alarming signal for the Rajasthan team and must be looked out by the bowlers. David Hussey is equally strengthening the teams' batting order but  this is not enough. To lead a winning inning other batsmen need to gear up their play and perform impressively.

On the bowling front Dmitri Mascarenhas or Azhar Mahmood will be replaced by Michael Neser this time. Once again Manpreet Gony and Praveen Kumar will have major responsibility for taking care of the wickets in this game.

Rajasthan Royals

This IPL season one team that has revived amongst all the others is Rajasthan Royals who are presently at no.2. High on their spirits they will be looking forward to get some extra points from this match. But Kings XI may not prove to be an easy target and Captain Rahul Dravid needs to define a strategy for his team. In the opening order Rahul Dravid and Ajinkya Rahane are the perfect starters while Stuart Binny and Shane Watson perform well in the last overs. Teenager Sanju Samson is gaining limelight in this IPL season.

In the bowling section consistency of Siddarth Trivedi, Pravin Tambe and Watto strengthens the teams play. Also this time Shaun Tait may be swapped by Kevon Cooper for getting earlier wickets. Ajit Chandila can be seen this time around in the team.

Probable Team Squad

Rajasthan Royals: R Dravid(c), A Rahane, S Watson, S Tait (or)K Cooper, S Samson, S Binny, J Faulkner, B Hodge, S Baby, S Trivedi, A Chandila (or) S Sreesanth (or)P Tambe

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