KKR take on Kings XI

The most consistent team of IPL 7 will be up against the most resilient side of the current edition when Kings XI Punjab lock horns with Kolkata Knight Riders in the first qualifier of the IPL on Wednesday at the Eden Gardens. The match was scheduled to be held on Tuesday but was called off due to incessant rainfall for the past few days in the city. A double washout would mean Punjab would make the finals without a ball being bowled as they are sitting at the top of the points table with Kolkata placed second.

Kings XI Punjab have been the most outstanding team this season to finish top of the points table, courtesy a superlative batting show from Glenn Maxwell. On the other hand, Kolkata were written off midway into the tournament with just two wins from first seven matches but they bounced back in superb fashion to seal a playoff berth. Later, Yusuf Pathan's destructive 22-ball 72 against Hyderabad fired them up to second spot ahead of Chennai on the basis of a better net run rate. Their 4-wicket triumph over Hyderabad was their seven win on the trot.

Punjab may be the heavyweights but they would be wary of KKR's momentum and it would be quite a challenge for George Bailey's men to breach their opponent's fortress at the Eden Gardens. Yusuf Pathan will be a threat in the ranks of KKR, quite the same way Maxwell is in the KXIP line-up, in what promises to be yet another run feast with both teams boasting of powerful batting line-ups. Under overcast conditions, the slow bowlers could play a crucial role and the KKR camp would have an extra edge in mystery spinner Sunil Narine who has the Purple Cap. They also have left-armer Shakib Al Hasan in a potent spin attack.With Mitchell Johnson spearheading the pace department, KXIP pacers have most number of wickets (62) but at the same time, their spinners have the fewest (24). In terms of batting, Shaun Marsh, who has been a consistent performer for KXIP with about 2000 runs, has been benched with Maxwell and Miller stealing the show.

KXIP have lost to KKR, the second team after Mumbai Indians to have beaten the table-toppers this season, and the home side would surely fancy their chances with a vociferous crowd behind them. KKR look a more balanced side of the two both in batting and bowling. But previous laurels won't matter in the play-offs as both the teams will have to start from zero. The cricket fans in Kolkata will not want another washout and would be praying to the Rain Gods for a rain-free day.

Sugar and Spice at Amigos!

My first brush with Amigos happened yesterday afternoon for lunch. Following an official meet, my friend and i wanted to have lunch at a nice place before heading back home. I remembered seeing Amigos around the area and we headed straight there.

The way Amigos is written itself exudes peppiness, energy and informal fun. The Best Mexican Food in Kolkata .... is undoubtedly served here. We were greeted by a waiter within seconds of our entry and shown to a table. Fresh Lemonade and Iced Tea with Nachos Fiesta was immediately ordered and delivered. I must emphasize that these are the best Nachos served in the City - topped with Cheese, Olives, Jalapeños, and accompanied by Cheddar Cheese Sauce, Salsa, Re-fried Beans, and Sour Cream. The Corn Chips were crisp, thin, and tasted great when coupled with salsa that was bursting with flavor. Awesome stuff! 

For our vegetarian mains we ordered Burrito Rollos stuffed with refried beans, Mexican rice, bell peppers, and mixed vegetables. Next up was the Veg Chile Rollenos which was a dish comprising of Whole Jalapeño Chilies stuffed with Cheese and served up with Mexican Rice,Tacos and refried Beans .... again delicious. We were stuffed but could not finish our feast without a sweet ending; so we ordered the Chocolate Mousse which was decadently delicious and beautifully presented. The cheque is presented in a sombrero, which just adds an entire level of peppiness to the ambience - beautifully done with paintings, vintage installations, guitars and on-loop Mexican pop music. Yesterday, I had a short-lived yet fantastic trip to Mexico. Like my friend put it, 'Sugar and Spice, and Everything Nice'!!
