Kolkata Knight Riders vs Punjab Kings Preview

Kolkata Knight Riders have not enjoyed a good middle third of the IPL season as they have fallen to seventh on the points table, with three wins in eight games. If they don’t get some wins quickly, it could be a long season for KKR.

Punjab Kings have lost their way a touch too but they still have five wins in eight games, which means they are still in the top half of the table.

KKR have struggled to stay consistent with the bat right through this season. In the previous game, they were chasing 199 against Gujarat Titans but could only find 159 for 8 in their 20 overs. Ajinkya Rahane scored 50 off 36 balls but there wasn’t much else from the rest of the batters.

"I thought 199 was chasable, I thought we came back into the game really well with the ball," Rahane said. "When you are chasing 199, you expect a good opening start with the batters, that's what we are struggling throughout this tournament.”

KKR brought in Rahmanullah Gurbaz for the last game and could stick with him for another match.

Punjab could only manage 157 for 6 against RCB, a score that was comfortably chased in the 19th over. Still, there is a lot going for Punjab, which makes them reliable in different conditions.

Punjab won’t rush to make too many changes after one bad performance against RCB.

Verdict

Kolkata Knight Riders v Punjab Kings - T20

This is a tricky one to call because both teams are more than capable. KKR failed to chase 112 the last time these two teams met, which will be an additional reason for them to turn up at the Eden Gardens with a lot to prove.
