Match Preview
Kolkata Knight Riders are all set to battle it out with Punjab Kings in the next clash of the Indian Premier League 2024. The match is scheduled on April 26, Friday, at the Eden Gardens, Kolkata. The Shreyas Iyer-led squad are currently seated in the top two of the points table, displaying exemplary prowess in the current season of the tournament. On the other hand, PBKS have been wandering at the bottom two, owing to their poor performance and lack of collective effort.
Toss Prediction
Kolkata and Punjab Kings have clashed against each other in 32 matches of the Indian Premier League. If we talk about their previous five clashes, the Kolkata skipper came on top in three toss battles whereas Punjab’s skipper won two tosses. Considering this and the fact that the upcoming match will be a home game for Kolkata, Shreyas Iyer is likely to be backed to win the toss over the rival captain.
Win Possibility
As mentioned, Kolkata and Punjab have played a total of 32 matches in the cash-rich tournament thus far. Out of those games, Kolkata came out victorious in 21 games whereas Punjab clinched victory in 11 games. While the data is enough to speak about KKR’s dominance over Punjab, their respective performances in the 2024 season don’t speak otherwise. KKR are ruling the points table, whereas Punjab are finding it hard to sail through the season.
The red jerseys are in desperate need of some wins, and they would put their heart and soul into ensuring they get one. However, KKR would be favourites to win the upcoming match.
