UPDATE – Match postponed to Wednesday due to heavy rains.

The first Qualifier of the Pepsi IPL 2014, Kings XI Punjab will take on Kolkata Knight Riders at the famous Eden Gardens.

Kings XI Punjab who have had the best IPL season so far since the inaugural IPL have decimated their opponents with their power batting. KXIP has lost just three matches out of 14, two against CSK and one against Kolkata Knight Riders. So with today’s match, they have an opportunity to take revenge of their defeat and also move in to the finals of IPL 2014.

On the other hand, Kolkata Knight Riders who have turned the tables with their superb comeback after being written off by many will be hoping to repeat their performance against Kings XI Punjab. Kolkata who not only qualified for playoffs but displaced Chennai from second spot would be eying an final berth today.
