Our Prediction
The Indian Premier League 2016 is headed for its third match of the season as Kings XI Punjab prepare to face the newly formed Gujarat Lions. This cracker of a contest will be held tonight at the Punjab Cricket Association Stadium in Mohali with play scheduled to begin for 11 April at 8 PM local time. While the Kings XI Punjab are already an established team and set for their ninth IPL appearance, Gujarat Lions are a new addition to the tournament. Both the teams are strongly recruited and will want to their start their campaign off with a win.
PBKS Team News & Playing 11
They have a decent top-order batting line-up in probable openers Shaun Marsh and Murali Vijay, Manan Vohra and Glenn Maxwell. Skipper David Miller along with Wriddhiman Saha will bring stability to the middle-order. Maxwell can be highly destructive in the T20 format and he will be the batsman to watch out for. He was exceptional for the Kings XI Punjab in 2014 and is a worthy bet to top-score for his side in tonight's fixture.
The pitch at the PCA is not known to offer too much assistance to the spinners, which could leave Axar Patel as the only specialist spinner in the side backed up by part-timers Gurkeerat Singh and Maxwell. In Kyle Abbott, Mitchell Johnson and Mohit Sharma, the Kings XI have a well-rounded pace attack. Though retired from international cricket, Johnson will be a formidable force with the ball. The premium strike bowler is expected to trouble the batsmen with his serious pace and is a good option for placing a bet.

Explosive batsmen like Aaron Finch, Brendon McCullum and Dwayne Smith at the top will give them brisk starts. The middle-order appears solid as well with Ravindra Jadeja and Dwayne Bravo. James Faulkner down the order is an excellent finisher of the innings. With the ground in Mohali not big enough, power-hitter Dwayne Smith with his ability to clear the fence easily will be a safe bet. However, captain Suresh Raina's vulnerability against short-pitched deliveries will be an area of concern for the Lions.
Dale Steyn, Faulkner and Dwayne Bravo will lead the bowling attack and the trio will be difficult to score off in the death overs. Also, the spin combo of Ravindra Jadeja and Shadab Jakati makes Gujarat Lions an overall impressive bowling unit. Steyn has taken 52 wickets in 42 T20Is and the South African speedster will be the best option for a bet. Local spinner Pravin Tambe can also be effective with his legbreaks.
Final Prediction
Kings XI Punjab, runner-up of the 2014 edition, were the first team to be eliminated from the tournament last year. Tonight, they certainly have an advantage of playing in Mohali - their home ground. Plus, with a new captain and a restructured squad, the team looks stronger than before. However, they will be carrying an enormous pressure to perform well in this season following their last year's debacle.
Gujarat Lions are a new team and will have no such pressure on them. Retaining most of the key players from Chennai Super Kings and Rajasthan Royals, they boast a superior side and are one of the tournament favorites. Thus, a head-to-head comparison between the squads puts Gujarat Lions slightly ahead of Kings XI Punjab for tonight's IPL match.
Betting odds for Kings XI Punjab vs Gujarat Lions, IPL 2016:
Kings XI Punjab - 2.1 ; Gujarat Lions - 1.89
