Having lost both their previous home games, Kings XI Punjab will be keen to win their last match in Pune against the Kolkata Knight Riders before shifting base to Mohali. KXIP, who had beaten the Mumbai Indians comfortably at the Wankhede Stadium, and are looking to get their second set of points in the Pepsi Indian Premier League, trained on Friday morning ahead of their fourth outing of the 2015 season. “We are not too worried about it (the defeat in the previous match).

I think we are not too far away from playing the perfect game of cricket. We had a really good training session today. The guys are really chancing it out there and hopefully they play some really good game of cricket tomorrow,” Shaun Marsh told the media.

While discussing the team’s batting, especially the middle-order, he said, “They are being okay. They are not far away from clicking as a whole group. Hopefully tomorrow all the guys will click.

It is important that one of the guys in the top four really carries on and gets a big score. That hasn’t happened so far and I think we are not too far away from playing some good cricket.”However, while the batting is yet to come together, there is competition to make it to playing XI.

Marsh himself is yet to get a game. “I have just got to keep preparing myself, and if given an opportunity, I am ready to go. Obviously they can only play four overseas players; I am training really hard and keeping myself nice and fit.

Whenever the opportunity does arise, I am just keeping myself ready for it,” the top-order batsman explained. Speaking about the bowling attack and specifically about Mitchell Johnson’s contribution, he said, “Mitch has bowled really well so far in all three games. He bowling well is a big advantage for us.

When he is on song he is really hard to face.”One of the challenges when they take on KKR would be spinner Sunil Narine. While talking about tackling the bowler, Marsh said, “He is a very good bowler.

He`s been around for a few seasons now; we know that we have to play really well against him. It`s going to be a big challenge for our batters.”.
