THE LOWDOWN
KOLKATA KNIGHT RIDERS
- Although KKR currently sit four points behind league leaders Rajasthan Royals, they remain safely inside the top four with the best net-run-rate in the tournament as it stands, which could prove crucial down the stretch.
- After suffering an agonising loss to Rajasthan, KKR were on the opposite side of the coin last time, coming out on top in another game that went to the wire, defeating RCB by one run after successfully completing a run-out off the last ball.
PUNJAB KINGS
- Sunday was one of disappointment for Punjab Kings, who fell to a fourth consecutive loss, this time at the hands of Gujarat Titans to leave them well adrift of the play-off places with just four points to their name.
- The batting let the Kings down as they were bowled out for just 142 across their 20 overs and whilst the bowlers fought valiantly to keep their side afloat, Punjab eventually succumbed to defeat by three wickets.
THE PREDICTION
When assessing the respective firepower of both teams, Kolkata Knight Riders do look to have more in the tank from a batting perspective than Punjab Kings, which should heavily influence the outcome of this match. Combine that with home advantage being in KKR’s favour, not to mention the form of Punjab Kings and the expectation is that the Knight Riders will win out in this one.
