IPL 2024, KKR vs PBKS Live Score: High-flying Kolkata Knight Riders take on Punjab Kings in their home game of IPL 2024 at Eden Gardens on Friday. KKR are placed at the second place in the points table with five wins from seven matches.
Kolkata Knight Riders take on Punjab Kings in the 42 match of IPL 2024 at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata on Friday. KKR beat Royal Challengers Bengaluru by one run in their last outing and are currently second in the standings with 10 points from seven games after a win and two losses. Punjab Kings, on the other hand, find themselves in ninth spot with four points after claiming two wins and suffering six losses. Ahead of KKR's clash with PBKS in Kolkata, let's have a look at the predicted XIs of both sides for this fixture.
Kolkata Knight Riders have played seven matches in IPL 2024 and they are currently ranked second on the points table, while Punjab Kings have played eight and are currently placed ninth on the points table. The pitch at the Eden Gardens, Kolkata will allow for good stroke play and the batters will find it easy to bat on the surface. The surface will not allow a lot of assistance to the bowlers and wicket-taking is not going to be easy. The average 1st innings score at this venue in the last 20 matches is 177 runs.
Punjab Kings skipper Shikhar Dhawan, who is nursing a shoulder injury, was ruled out of their Friday's IPL match against Kolkata Knight Riders and the team is hoping for his return against Chennai Super Kings on May 1. The 38-year-old last played against Sunrisers Hyderabad on April 9 and since then he missed three matches with Sam Curran stepping in as the captain. PBKS spin bowling coach Sunil Joshi said Dhawan is on a recovery course and the left-hander could possibly make a return in their next game in Chennai.
Halfway through Indian Premier League 2024, and one of the most-talked-about franchises Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) are reeling at the bottom of the points table with only two points and a poor Net Run Rate (NRR) of -1.046. After losing seven out of their eight matches, RCB can still qualify for the IPL 2024 playoffs. They have had a forgettable campaign this season with their bowling unit failing on multiple occasions despite some contributions from the likes of Virat Kohli, Dinesh Karthik, and skipper Faf du Plessis with the bat.
Australia and Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) all-rounder Marcus Stoinis registered the highest individual score ever during a run-chase in the Indian Premier League (IPL) on Tuesday. The veteran accomplished this feat during his side's game against Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at the Chepauk Stadium.While the wickets were falling and the run rate was climbing at the other end, Stoinis held the other end steady, playing a knock of perfectly calculated aggression and caution to breach CSK's Chepauk fortress for the first time this season.
Punjab Kings continue to reel among the bottom sides of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 after losing yet another contest, to last year's runners-up Gujarat Titans on Sunday. With primary skipper Shikhar Dhawan absent, Sam Curran took over the reins and promoted him at the top of the batting order. But the English all-rounder barely managed to click, scoring just 20 runs from 19 balls. Even with the ball Curran couldn't do much, leaking 18 runs in 2 overs as Gujarat Titans chased down the target of 143 runs with ease.
