KKR vs KXIP Dream11 IPL 2020 PredictionBelatedly by four wins in a row, Kings XI Punjab hopes to preserve the Giant as they face the revival of the Kolkata Knight Riders in a mid-table match here on Monday. Punjab is ranked fifth on the points table after winning five matches in 11 games, while Kolkata is slightly better, as it ranked fourth with 12 points. A Punjab victory would lift them to the top four, while a KKR victory would lift them to 14 points, like the top three teams in the competition, boosting their chances in the play-off. As the race to the playoffs rages, both sides know the value of winning on Monday. KXIP regained its form, ending its five-game losing streak with a victory over third-placed Royal Challengers Bangalore. Since then, the team led by KL Rahul has never looked back, defeating the two best teams in the tournament, the Indians from Mumbai and the capital cities of Delhi, plus Sunrisers Hyderabad. However, they must also win the remaining matches in order for the playoffs to take place. KXIP has hitters that match the style of Rahul, the tournament's top scorer in Running, and Mayank Agarwal. The presence of the illustrious Chris Gayle has inspired the team, and since his inclusion in the eleventh game, the Punjab team has never lost a match. Nicholas Pooran also looks dangerous, but Glenn Maxwell's precarious form remains a concern.KKR will also be enthusiastic after its landslide win over formidable Delhi Capitals and will try desperately to maintain the winning momentum. After an embarrassing loss of eight wickets to Royal Challengers Bangalore, the champion twice regrouped and caused a 59 round loss to Capitals, who is second on the points table. Promoted to the open tour, Nitesh Rana plunged into his new role and took a whirlwind of 81 while he was competing in 115th place with Sunil Narine (64). The spinning leg of Varun Chakravarthy then shattered the mid-ranking of the DC with five points.KKR vs KXIP Presentation ReportThe cricket stadium in Sharjah has slowed dramatically, with new bowlers recently taking over. When the tournament started, Sharjah tape gave a lot of running and support to the batsmen who enjoyed hitting this wicket, but it's not the same anymore. The likes of Siraj and Bolt enjoyed conditions due to the show's early swing, which must also be the case in this game. Interestingly, shooters will be the key to luck on both sides, and hitters should be able to play their natural game once they get used to the rhythm of the surface. However, the dimensions of the floor prefer the mixture because the straight boundaries are very small. With the likes of Gail, Rahul, Buran, Morgan, and Russell, we can look forward to a race festival on Monday. Both teams will look to the chase by winning the lottery, with a competitive total number of 170 in that location. Read more about: IPL 2020, RR vs SRH in DubaiKKR vs KXIP head onBeen Played- 26 | Kolkata won 18 | Punjab won - 8 KKR vs KXIP Fantasy TipsKL Rahul (VC), Dinesh Karthik, Shubman Gill, Nitish Rana, Chris Gayle, Sunil Narine, Glenn Maxwell (C), Mohammed Shami, Chris Jordan, Varun Chakravarthy, and Lockie Ferguson.KKR vs KXIP Probable Playing XIsKolkata Knight Riders: Shubman Gill, Nitish Rana, Rahul Tripathi, Dinesh Karthik (wk), Sunil Narine, Eoin Morgan (C), Pat Cummins, Shivam Mavi/Kamlesh Nagarkoti, Lockie Ferguson, Prasidh Krishna, Varun Chakravarthy.Kings XI Punjab: KL Rahul (C/wk), Mayank Agarwal/Mandeep Singh, Chris Gayle, Nicholas Pooran, Glenn Maxwell/James Neesham, Deepak Hooda, Chris Jordan, M Ashwin, Ravi Bishnoi, Mohammed Shami, Arshdeep Singh.KKR vs KXIP SQUADSKolkata Knight Riders: Shubman Gill, Nitish Rana, Rahul Tripathi, Dinesh Karthik (wk), Sunil Narine, Eoin Morgan (C), Pat Cummins, Lockie Ferguson, Kamlesh Nagarkoti, Prasidh Krishna, Andre Russell, Varun Chakravarthy, Kuldeep Yadav, Sandeep Warrier, Siddhesh Lad, Nikhil Naik, Tim Seifert, Chris Green, Rinku Singh, Ali Khan, Tom Banton, Shivam Mavi, Manimaran Siddharth.Kings XI Punjab: KL Rahul (wk/C), Mandeep Singh, Chris Gayle, Nicholas Pooran, Glenn Maxwell, Deepak Hooda, Chris Jordan, Murugan Ashwin, Ravi Bishnoi, Mohammed Shami, Arshdeep Singh, Mayank Agarwal, Karun Nair, Krishnappa Gowtham, James Neesham, Sheldon Cottrell, Sarfaraz Khan, Hardus Viljoen, Jagadeesha Suchith, Ishan Porel, Mujeeb Ur Rahman, Tajinder Singh, Darshan Nalkande, Simran Singh, Harpreet Brar.Read More About: IPL 2020, CSK VS MI PREDICTED PLAYING XIS

SRH VS DC Dream11 IPL 2020 PredictionDelhi Capitals will look completing the unfinished business and close their place In the supplement when they face Sunrisers Hyderabad in a crucial match in the Indian Premier League today. Two consecutive losses against Kolkata Knight Riders and Kings XI Punjab would hurt, but DC needs to take the band aid off and score two points to take their tally to 16, which will lift them to the top of the table. On the other hand, the Sunrisers hopes of conducting the qualifiers are pinned by a thread. David Warner and his men are second to last, with eight points from 11 startups. To reach the qualifiers, they must win the remaining three matches and hope that all other results go well. Capitals have an explosive striking division as well as an enormous bowling unit. They did not count on anyone, as different players raised their hands at different times to deliver goods to the team. The South African rhythm duo by Kagiso Rabada (23 wicket) and Anrich Nortje(14) was exceptional. Tushar Deshpande and Ravichandran Ashwin have performed irregularly in recent matches, while Axar Patel has done a good job putting down rival teams.Sunrisers is heading towards clash after a frustrating defeat. Chasing a modest 127 against KXIP, the complexion of the game changed after dismissal of Warner and Jonny Bairstow in quick succession. The former Champions have lost five wickets in their last two matches to suffer a humiliating defeat. The team relies heavily on its combat unit, primarily on Bairstow, Warner and Manish Pandey. Vijay Shankar did well in the victory over the Rajasthan Royals, but was unable to repeat his performance against KXIP. The bowling unit beefed up with the inclusion of Jason Holder was impressive in the previous match and the Warner captain desperately hopes they make a similar bid against Delhi. Army Orange will also rely on the fact that they beat Delhi earlier in the tournament.SRH VS DC Fantasy Tips Jonny Bairstow, Rishabh Pant, Ajinkya Rahane, David Warner (VC), Shreyas Iyer, Priyam Garg, Kagiso Rabada, Jason Holder, T Natarajan, Rashid Khan and Ravi Ashwin (C). SRH vs DC Probable Playing XIsSunrisers Hyderabad: David Warner (C), Jonny Bairstow (WK), Manish Pandey, Vijay Shankar, Priyam Garg, Abdul Samad/Abhishek Sharma, Jason Holder, Rashid Khan, Khaleel Ahmed/Basil Thampi, T Natarajan and Sandeep Sharma.Delhi Capitals: Shikhar Dhawan, Prithvi Shaw/Ajinkya Rahane, Shreyas Iyer (C), Rishabh Pant (WK), Shimron Hetmyer, Marcus Stoinis, Axar Patel, Ravi Ashwin, Kagiso Rabada, Tushar Deshpande/Harshal Patel and Anrich Nortje.SRH vs DC SQUADSSunrisers Hyderabad: David Warner (C), Abhishek Sharma, Basil Thampi, Yarra Prithviraj, Billy Stanlake, Jonny Bairstow, Kane Williamson, Manish Pandey, Mohammad Nabi, Rashid Khan, Sandeep Sharma, Shahbaz Nadeem, Shreevats Goswami, Siddarth Kaul, Khaleel Ahmed, T Natarajan, Vijay Shankar, Wriddhiman Saha, Abdul Samad, Fabian Allen, Jason Holder, Priyam Garg, Sandeep Bavanaka, Sanjay Yadav, Virat Singh.Delhi Capitals: Shreyas Iyer (C), Prithvi Shaw, Ajinkya Rahane, Shikhar Dhawan, Anrich Nortje, Ishant Sharma, Pravin Dubey, Avesh Khan, Sandeep Lamichhane, Kagiso Rabada, Keemo Paul, Mohit Sharma, Lalit Yadav, Axar Patel, Harshal Patel, Ravi Ashwin, Marcus Stoinis, Daniel Sams, Rishabh Pant, Alex Carey, Shimron Hetmyer and Tushar Deshpande.Also read: Virat Kohli's Superb Tattoos

Bullard crushed Sri Lankan Akila Danangaya with six women in his sixth domestic hunt.The Mumbai Indians player smashed Dananjaya after hitting the West Indies with a hat-trick in the fourth game, including Chris Gayle's comeback for a duck. Bullard became the eighth batsman in cricket history, smashing six sixes in one game.5.1 Dananjaya to Pollard, Six times, Bullard drops to one knee and hits that long ball on the long one. There was a cry to catch him, but Pollard cleared the boundaries at some distance. 5.2 Dananjaya to Pollard, Six races this time puts it on the viewscreen. So full of Dananjaya this time and Pollard stuck with this 5.3 Dananjaya to Pollard, The SIX runs a hat-trick with six more. A little thicker and wider, but that doesn't matter for Pollard, who crushes it from a distance. Bullard is not worried about those popups 5.4 Dananjaya to Pollard, Six races make it four races in a row! What a strange day for Akila Danangaya, who was beaten for four, six, and six in a row after a hat-trick in the last round. It was a long ball and Pollard pulled it down the middle of the middle. Hit it by rolling and keep sailing 5.5 Dananjaya to Pollard, Six run stops! Five Six on Five Balls by Kron Pollard. This is a butcher shop. Bullard swings back and uses all of his power to fire it directly over the player's head. 5.6 Dananjaya to Pollard, SIX does not work, no. Kieron Pollard has smashed six stats in one here. Yuvraj Singh finally has a company. Shot on pillows and slide, just a simple slide as it flies over the deep edge of the middle deal.

Dananjaya drifted off the trunk of the third ball, but Pollard slapped it carelessly, as the fourth ball was deposited over the middle of the deep wicket while the fifth ball crashed over the archer's head. Dananjaya came around the wicket, but Pollard pulled him off his stands to set the record six and six and bowed to celebrate the occasion in front of the Coolidge crowd.It was a rapid turnover of fortune for the Sri Lankan worker, who had just scored a hat-trick in the previous round, sacking starter Evin Lewis, Gayle, and wicketkeeper Nicholas Boran in the fourth game.Pollard joined Yuvraj and Herschel Gibbs from South Africa as the only batsmen to achieve this feat in an international match under the Gibbs brand in the 2007 World Cup Finals against the Netherlands.

FIFA World Cup 2022 qualifier: Euro champions Italy equal WORLD RECORD for most unbeaten games

Jorginho missed a penalty when Italy draw 0-0 with Switzerland in a World Cup qualifier on Sunday September 5, a result that meant Roberto Mancini's side equaled the world record for consecutive undefeated international matches in a row. Italy is now undefeated in 36 consecutive games, equaling Brazil's record set between 1993 and 1996. The result could have been more positive if Jorginho had converted from the penalty spot in the 52nd minute after a foul by Domenico Berardi, but the Chelsea midfielder was thwarted by goalkeeper Yan Sommer. Italy had other opportunities to snatch the victory from them, but had to settle for a draw, which means they remain top of qualification Group C on 11 points from five games, four ahead of the second-placed Swiss, who have two matches in hand on the Azzurri.Also Read- Cristiano Ronaldo becomes all-time highest goalscorer in international football with brace against Ireland Mancini's team entered the game after a disappointing 1-1 draw with Bulgaria on Thursday, in their first match becoming European champions two months ago. But the visiting team did much better in the first half in Basel and should have taken the lead through good chances for Berardi and Lorenzo Insigne, both of whom were denied by Sommer. The best chance of the night came seven minutes of the second half after Ricardo Rodriguez trying to atone for being caught in possession, lunged in on Berardi to award a penalty. Jorginho, who missed his spot kick in in Italy's penalty shootout victory over England in the Euro 2020 final, stepped up but put his effort far to close to Sommer, who made an easy save.
