THE PREDICTION

Both Kings XI and Sunrisers are chasing KKR for that fourth and final play-off place so this really is a crunch game as the two meet in Dubai. Kings XI are arguably the form team in the IPL right now having won their last four matches in a row. The inclusion of Chris Gayle has bolstered their batting line-up and reduced the reliance on KL Rahul and Agarwal at the top of the order, while Pooran and Maxwell are looking better with every game. Sunrisers managed to get back to winning ways last time out against Rajasthan Royals with a comfortable eight-wicket win as Jason Holder came in and impressed with his three wickets. They will surely go unchanged here but this will be a tough test for them. The Kings XI batsmen have real momentum right now and while Sunrisers may have the better balance in their team, more of the Kings XI team are in form which is why they are marginally favoured here.
