Punjab Kings however, is in a deadlock for the top of the table after two victories in as many matches winning its first match against Gujarat Titans by three wickets and comfortably beating Chennai Super Kings by five wickets in its second match. The Knight Riders will hope for some respite in their fortune at its home whereas Punjab Kings will look to extend its winning run.
