Kolkata Knight Riders are in tremendous form in IPL 2024, as the Shreyas Iyer-led side are currently second in the table with 5 wins and 2 losses in their 7 matches, and have a highly impressive Net Run Rate (NRR) of +1.206. On the other hand, Punjab Kings are in dismal form this season as they have recorded 4 consecutive losses in their last 4 matches and the Sam Curran-led side are 9th in the table with 2 wins and 6 losses in their 8 matches this season.
Yesterday's result has had two contrasting emotions for the sides playing today, with Sunrisers Hydeabad's defeat to Royal Challenegrs Bengaluru giving a cushion of advantage to KKR, as they can now make a point difference of two between them and SRH in the same number of matches, with a victory over PBKS.
PBKS will now be quite worried as a victory for RCB now keeps the latter level on points with PBKS and a defeat for them today can increase their chances of finishing at the bottom of the table.
Playing XI:
Punjab Kings Playing XI: Sam Curran (c), Jonny Bairstow, Rilee Rossouw, Jitesh Sharma (wk), Shashank Singh, Ashutosh Sharma, Kagiso Rabada, Harpreet Brar, Harshal Patel, Arshdeep Singh, Rahul Chahar
Kolkata Knight Riders Playing XI: Philip Salt (wk), Sunil Narine, Venkatesh lyer, Shreyas lyer (c), Angkrish Raghuvanshi, Rinku Singh, Andre Russell, Ramandeep Singh, Dushmantha Chameera, Varun Chakravarthy, Harshit Rana
