PBKS vs KKR Match Preview

Punjab Kings and Kolkata Knight Riders will be a high-voltage clash, not just because it’s a matchup between an inform team and a team defending its title. It’s a high-voltage clash because Shreyas Iyer former title-winning skipper of KKR who was let go and acquired by Punjab, will make this matchup a must-watch clash.

Both the teams are placed next to each other in the points table with KKR placed at fifth spot and PBKS on the 6th spot. KKR having played 6 matches has won three and lost three, on the other hand, PBKS having played 5 matches has won three and lost two. Both the teams with 6 points each, will battle it out in their match to find a differentiation between themselves. Shreyas Iyer who has a better-balanced squad than Rahane’s KKR, and Rahane who has pressure on his back as he is leading a title-winning squad, is what makes this clash a must-watch match.

Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium, Punjab Pitch Report

The surface at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium in Chandigarh is anticipated to be a batting-friendly track. While seamers may get slight movement with the new ball, the true bounce and pace of the wicket will support aggressive shot-making and smooth run-scoring throughout the match.

Spinners usually find minimal assistance here, as the pitch doesn’t offer much turn. Fast bowlers will need to rely on back-of-a-length deliveries and maintain tight lines, particularly in the middle and final overs. Since the pitch tends to play consistently for the game, teams winning the toss are expected to prefer chasing.
