Kolkata look top the table against Struggling KXIP batsmen

                The business end of the tournament building up with quite uneven results to that of first half of the season, as Kings XI face on Kolkata Knight riders on Wednesday at Kolkata after their much needed moral win agianst Gujarat lions.
             KXIP showed glimpse of winning after their poor performance in the previous games, the win agianst Gujarat as lot to look from the bowlers in defending an par score. Although batsmen still finding their groves, which in turn may not help their cause with this attitude at the Business end of the tournament.
               Adding the pain to the injury of KXIP batsmen, Shaun Marsh Injury leaves them in an more confused state in terms of Combination of the squad. While bowlers have showed decent performance with the ball, but batsmen failed to post a big total on the board so far.
            On the other side Kolkata won their last game agianst Bangalore, where they found the lost in momentum with  much needed big hits from Pathan and Russell. After a uneven performance from the middle order in the previous games and those big hits helps them a lot along side their top order.
              While bowling as been their strength over the season with quality spinners in the attack, while Narine yet to make his mark in this season.
                The pitch at Kolkata as been good for spinners along long side big boundaries, while Kolkata lost and won a game piece in the season at the home.
                Meanwhile King XI look for changes with injury to Shaun Marsh, which makes a way for Behardien and this change may also bring vohra at the top of the order. While Kolkata look to bring in Shakib to add spin to attack leaving Lynn.
                Kolkata won in the previous encounter agianst KXIP at Mohali and they seek to capitalize on that psychologically and playing at home will be an added bonus. Any ways the contest gonna lie heavily on misfiring visitors batsmen against the hosts bowlers.
