The Indian Premier League (IPL) side has looked out of sorts in the tournament so far and with rain robbing them of a chance to stay in the hunt during their previous outing against Perth Scorchers, Gautam Gambhir's boys would be desperate to end the cash-rich championship on a positive note.
Titans, on the other hand, are on a roll, having won two consecutive matches, and would like to seal a place in the semi-finals when they meet a deflated KKR side.
However, the African side needs to guard against complacency as a slide from here on may well restrict their entry into the top four.
With both their openers firing in unison, Titans have got off to fliers in their previous two outings and it remains to be seen how Jacques Rudolph and Henry Davids come up against the likes of Brett Lee and Jacques Kallis.
The only matter of worry for Martin van Jaarsveld-led side would be lack of time spent by its middle order at the crease.
Most of the team's batsmen have remained unscathed and Gambhir's men might well be in with a chance if they manage to get a couple of early wickets.
The real test for the home side will come through mystery spinner Sunil Narine, who has clinched five wickets in the tournament so far, and Gambhir may well be tempted to use him upfront along side Lee.
The worry for KKR in the bowling department remains the lacklustre performance of Lakshmipathy Balaji. The Tamil Nadu bowler has been too costly giving away 116 runs from his 11 overs in the tournament so far. MORE
