    KXIP vs RCB: Preview, head-to-head and Fantasy XI
  • Kings XI Punjab have a perfect chance to move one step closer to playoffs when they host struggling Royal Challengers Bangalore in their final home game of the season.

    Punjab were table toppers once but they have seen their form diminish in the last few games.

    They will hope to get their season back on track.

    For RCB, the motto is battle for survival.
