Currently the four teams leading the points table are CSK, RR, KKR and MI. Surprisingly Mumbai has won four matches on the trot and reached top four. RCB is placed at the fifth position and one win can take them to fourth position. KXIP are at the bottom of points tally with no chance of making it to the play offs. Watch RCB vs KXIP live streaming today on Star Sports and HotStar. Live telecast will be available on Sony Six and Set Max.
Royal Challengers Bangalore are a better team out of the two. Kings XI have won just two matches out of the nine they played while RCB has four wins and one wash out match to their name.
Although RCB has got a good support recently from the likes of Sarfaraz Khan or David Wiese, their prime strength still stays with Chris Gayle, AB de Villiers, Virat Kohli and Mitchell Starc. Surprisingly Starc has bowled six batsmen out of his 11 wickets so far in IPL 2015. Since the time he joined the team, RCB has been able to contain the opposition for lower totals.
KXIP is badly looking for an inspirational performance from the team members. Gone are those days when Maxwell or Miller used to hammers the bowlers all over the parks. Even Virender Sehwag has looked silent this year. Bailey has scored consistently and Murali Vijay has done a good job so far. But that hasn't been enough for the team to get to the winning ways.
M Chinnaswamy Stadium is well known for big scores. Infact around 70% runs are scored here in boundaries and sixes. With two teams that are well known for big hitting, we can see a lot of runs today. KXIP have won 9 out of 14 matches against RCB. But this year things don't seem to be going the Kings' way. Yes Kings XI Punjab can play spoil sport from here on by winning some matches and spoiling others' parties.
RCB will next face Mumbai Indians on 10th May. Kings XI Punjab will face KKR on 9th May.
