The task ahead of Kings XI Punjab is simple: beat Deccan Chargers by as big a margin as possible on Saturday. Mumbai Indians' sorry show against Rajasthan Royals has brightened Punjab's prospects, and provided them with windows of opportunity at both ends of the Net Run-Rate curve. Punjab are already ahead of Mumbai on NRR, and if they win by a big enough margin
If, on the other hand, Punjab wins by a small margin, they will remain behind Kolkata on NRR, and will want Mumbai to either lose, or win by a margin huge enough to pull Kolkata to fifth on the table. All these permutations, however, will count up for nought if Punjab loses against Deccan.
The possibilities are endless, and the situation calls for cool heads that can ignore the distractions and approach the game with neat minds. In Captain Adam Gilchrist and Coach Michael Bevan, Punjab has just the men for the job.
