The Knight Riders head into this match with two changes to their playing XI as Ryan ten Doeschate and Manoj Tiwary come into the team in place Ryan McLaren and Debabrata Das.

On the other hand, the Warriors bring in Parveez Rasool in place of Rahul Sharma.

Defending champions Kolkata Knight Riders would be looking to restore lost pride when they take on the struggling Pune Warriors.

It will be a great chance for the title-holders, who are virtually out of contention for a berth in the four-team play-offs, to redeem themselves against a side enduring a nightmarish campaign this season.

However, it would certainly not be an easy task for KKR, especially after the thrashing they received at the hands of Mumbai Indians on Tuesday.

Similarly, Pune Warriors cup of woes is also brimming over after they suffered their seventh straight loss against Rajasthan Royals in their previous game.

And it would again be a daunting task for Aaron Finch's boys against a team, which might be low at the moment but boasts of some big-hitters.
