Punjab Kings vs Kolkata Knight Riders Preview

Punjab Kings were looking set for another win to keep them in the top half of the table until Sunrisers Hyderabad caught fire as they chased down 246 with nine balls to spare in their previous match.

KKR, on the other hand, cruised past a hapless CSK team in their previous match. They restricted CSK to 103 for 9 on a slow pitch and then chased that target down in just 10.1 overs.

Both teams are looking for a bit of momentum to carry them out of this mid-table muddle that several teams are currently a part of.

While Punjab’s bowlers were decimated in the previous match, there won’t be too many panic buttons pressed in that Punjab camp.

Shreyas Iyer scored his third fifty of the season with a rapid 82 against Sunrisers while Marcus Stoinis put the finishing touches with 34 off just 11 balls.

Lockie Ferguson limped off in the previous match after just two balls. He may not be fit for this game.

KKR found a way to use their spinners on a slow surface to keep CSK quiet. In Varun Chakravarthy and Sunil Narine, KKR have the resources to be able to keep strong batting teams, like Punjab Kings, quiet for long periods of the game.

"The big thing that the value that they bring is the amount of variations they bring. Obviously, both of them are mystery spinners," Quinton de Kock said. "So, it's always mixing it up. I think it's hard to line up certain spin bowlers like that because you never know what you're going to get,” de Kock said.

KKR have no injury concerns.

Verdict

Punjab Kings v Kolkata Knight Riders - T20

KKR have the edge in this one with their bowling unit. You should see a strong performance from their slower bowlers on a pitch that could be sluggish in Mullanpur. Punjab will fight but KKR should be a reliable betting choice.
