The defending champion Kolkata Knight Riders will face Punjab Kings at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium, Mullanpur, on Tuesday. The toss will take place at 7:00 pm and the match will commence from 07:30 pm. This match will be very crucial for the teams, as it will take the winner one step closer to the playoffs.
The Punjab Kings have been performing quite well this IPL season. Captain Shreyash Iyer is in form, and players like Shashank Singh, Prabhsimran, and especially the inclusion of Priyansh Arya are making the Kings’ batting even more lethal. Even though they lost their last match against SRH, still the team is going pretty well as of now. The team does have some injury concerns like Lockie Ferguson, which will surely impact the bowling unit. Punjab Kings have won 3 matches out of the five games in IPL 2025.
KKR too has performed well this season. They won their last match against CSK at Chepauk and finished the game in just 10 overs, which is not something we see often with CSK at Chepauk. The defending champions are in great momentum, but this will be crucial for them as it will take them to a secure position on the points table. The Kolkata Knight Riders have won 3 matches out of the six games that they’ve played this IPL season.
If we compare the two teams and their records, it is very difficult to compare who is going to win today’s match. However, KKR has played six games whereas PBKS has played 5. It appears KKR might have an upper hand.
