Suresh Raina’s match-winning knock in the last game will keep them in good stead when they take on Kings XI Punjab, a team that has not been playing to their full potential and that has hurt them already. Glenn Maxwell and Co. too have not got going and they will look to correct that or else they will really lag behind in the points table.
Lions and Kings XI have a 1-1 record against each other, winning their respective away games in 2016.
Kings XI Punjab began their season with back-to-back wins, and have lost four on the bounce since, they are looking for inspiration from any corner.
