Chennai: King's XI Punjab, on a roll with five consecutive victories and leading the pack on the leaderboard, face up to the Chennai Super Kings, a team that is on the mend after suffering a trough in their fortunes in the Indian Premier League Twenty20 tournament match here today.
The Mohali-based King's XI would also be seeking to avenge their defeat suffered at home last month when the Super Kings piled up the tournament's highest score so far, 240, and eventually won by 33 runs.
Led by Yuvraj Singh and bolstered by the presence of two top Sri Lankans, Mahela Jayawardene and Kumar Sangakkara, the Punjab side boast a more potent bowling attack comprising Irfan Pathan, Santakumaran Sreesanth and Piyush Chawla.
Punjab look settled, but the signs are ominous since the Super Kings have finally worked out their best starting XI.
