THE LOWDOWN
KOLKATA KNIGHT RIDERS
- Kolkata Knight Riders were unable to build on their victory in their opening game of the Indian Premier League as they fell to Royal Challengers Bangalore in their second contest, largely on the back of an underwhelming batting display.
- KKR were skittled for just 128 with none of their batsmen managing to score more than 25 runs and despite a solid response from their bowling unit, they ultimately fell to a three-wicket loss.
PUNJAB KINGS
- Punjab Kings made an eye-catching start to their IPL campaign as they recorded a five-wicket success against Royal Challengers Bangalore with their top three doing a superb job with the bat.
- PBKS were set a huge total of 206 to win but some solid partnerships to begin the innings got the chase off to a great start before Odean Smith’s outstanding knock of 25* from just eight deliveries got the job done.
THE PREDICTION
Kolkata Knight Riders and Punjab Kings go head-to-head in what should be a thrilling contest between two well-matched teams. KKR come into this on the back of a loss but are capable of responding while PBKS were extremely impressive in victory in their opening game of the tournament. There is little to split the two but based on how they both played last time out, the Kings are the slight preference in this one.
