Kolkata Knight Riders have been one of the top-performing teams of this year’s Indian Premier League (IPL) so far. The two-time champions have won five of their seven matches till now this season. KKR will look to continue their dominance when they take on Punjab Kings in their next fixture scheduled to be played on Friday, April 26. The IPL 2024 game between KKR and PBKS will be played at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata. The Shreyas Iyer-led side will enter the game as the favourites, considering the Punjab-based franchise’s current form. KKR are heading to the home fixture after beating Royal Challengers Bengaluru in a thrilling clash. It was a high-scoring affair where KKR batted first and set a target of 223 runs. The RCB batting unit also had a good outing but ultimately fell one run short of the required total.
Meanwhile, PBKS are coming off four consecutive defeats. In their last match against Gujarat Titans, PBKS faced a batting collapse, managing to reach 146. GT comfortably chased down the target in the 19th over to secure a three-wicket victory.
