Hello and welcome to the live blog of 46th IPL 2020 match between Kolkata Knight Riders and Kings XI Punjab. It’s going to be a cracker of a contest as both teams will be fighting for a position in top four. KXIP are currently in a dream form and are capable of posing threat to Eoin Morgan & Co. KKR, on the other hand, cannot afford any mistake on the field tonight. Pressure is equal on both sides. Only mantra to follow - perform, win and inch closer to the knockouts.
