THE LOWDOWN
KOLKATA KNIGHT RIDERS
- Victory here for Kolkata Knight Riders would take them to ten points in the 2023 IPL table and level on points with Punjab Kings, their opponents here.
- KKR’s most recent encounter ended in victory by a fine margin of just five runs against Sunrisers Hyderabad, which they will hope serves as positive impetus for them moving forward.
PUNJAB KINGS
- For the third time in a row, Punjab Kings followed up a win, with defeat in their very next game, this time losing to Mumbai Indians by six wickets.
- Not being able to defend a score of 214 will have been seen as a huge disappointment for a Punjab side with a stacked bowling attack on paper and a significant improvement will be needed on another good batting surface at Eden Gardens.
THE PREDICTION
Punjab Kings are among the best travellers in the IPL, having already won games in Lucknow, Mumbai and Chennai. This bodes well for them against a KKR side who are on a three-match losing streak at home. The Kings have consistently responded well following a set-back and their depth of power hitting should serve them well in Kolkata against one of the poorer bowling attacks in the competition. Back Punjab Kings to overcome the Knight Riders.
