After two initial losses, KXIP bounced back with two consecutive victories -- one at home against Pune Warriors and the other against tomorrow's opponents at the Eden Gardens just two days back.

Having beaten the same opponents at their home bastion, though with a narrow two-run margin, KXIP would start tomorrow's match at the PCA Stadium with more confidence while the Knight Riders would look to make it even score. Both sides have some things in common as each had to taste two losses in as many games at the beginning before bouncing back.
