Prediction: KXIP is the possible winner of this match
Into the last year 2015, KXIP was the most favourite team to become champion. Even they are qualified for the Semifinals and get 2 times chance to qualify for the final but two match straight losing damage their dream to win IPL title first time. Glenn Maxwell & David Miller performed extremely well into that season. As Gujarat Lions is a new team and it will take time to them to come in discipline. That’s why our editorial prediction going to KXIP’s side for this match.
