Match no 18 of the IPL 2018, between KKR vs KXIP is expected to be a cracker of a contest. With both teams winning their last two matches, KXIP and KKR will leave no stone unturned to continue their winning streak at the Eden Gardens. With players like Chris Gayle, Nitish Rana, Robin Uthappa being at the top of their forms the 18th match will be more of a tug of war.
Going by the stats between KKR and KXIP, Dinesh Karthik led squad holds an edge over the latter. Out of the last 9 matches, KXIP has won only 2 whereas KKR will 7. Toss will once again play a crucial role as out of the last 6 games, the team batting first has won 4 contests. Towards the evening, dew will also play a vital role. Talking about the pitch, traditionally Eden Gardens has had a history of helping the teams get a high score, but considering the fact that match no 18 is a day game, the pitch might behave a bit slow.
KKR probable XI: Chris Lynn, Sunil Narine, Robin Uthappa, Nitish Rana, Dinesh Karthik (c & wk), Andre Russell, Shubman Gill, Tom Curran, Piyush Chawla, Shivam Mavi, Kuldeep Yadav
KXIP probable XI: Lokesh Rahul (wk), Chris Gayle, Mayank Agarwal, Karun Nair, Aaron Finch, Yuvraj Singh/Manoj Tiwary, Ravichandran Ashwin (c), Andrew Tye, Barinder Sran, Mohit Sharma, Mujeeb Ur Rahman
