With a win in the last match under their belt, Kings XI Punjab batsman Martin Guptill on Thursday said the team would be looking to continue the new-found momentum when they clash with Royal Challengers Bangalore on Friday.
KXIP, placed fifth with 8 points from 9 games, would be keen to post a comprehensive win against RCB if they want to stay relevant till the business end of the IPL-10.
"We started off very well but unfortunately lost some matches in the middle. That can happen in cricket. We lost a few games, which cost us. We have played a couple of good games recently. We are looking to put up a good performance and get another victory," he said.
Asked how tough it would be to face a team like RCB, who are playing to salvage pride, Guptill said: "They are a dangerous side. If you look through their lineup, the whole way down, they have got match winners everywhere.
"Yeah, we have to play extremely well tomorrow (Friday) and put our plans in place to negate their tag of being match winners.
It is going to be tough game and we have to be on our toes to take them down," he said.
The New Zealander said that the team would assess the condition and look to adapt quickly, especially in the wake of low-scoring games played here this year.
"There has been low-scoring games. We have to take this into account. Once we go out in the middle tomorrow (Friday), we will assess what is happening with bat and bowl and hopefully, adapt quickly," he said. Guptill said KXIP have "full squad to choose from" as no one is injured.
