Kolkata Knight Riders will play against Punjab Kings in the 41st match of the IPL 2024 at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata. After registering a close one-run win over the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), the Shreyas Iyer-led side are well placed in the top half of the IPL standings at the halfway mark of the tournament. For Punjab Kings, who are struggling badly to put up a performance in the IPL 2024, all of their top players need to step up against a formidable opponent this weekend. Pitch Report The pitches at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata have proven to be very good for batters, and generally, they tend to improve as the night rolls along. With that, the average first innings score of 165 at this venue in the IPL, could be far from enough for either KKR or PBKS to defend in their upcoming match. KKR Probable XI: Phil Salt (wk), Sunil Narine, Angkrish Raghuvanshi, Shreyas Iyer (c), Rinku Singh, Andre Russell, Ramandeep Singh, Mitchell Starc/Dushmantha Chameera, Varun Chakravarthy, Harshit Rana, Suyash Sharma. [Impact Player: Venkatesh Iyer] PBKS Probable XI: Shikhar Dhawan (c), Jonny Bairstow/Rilee Rossouw, Prabhsimran Singh, Sam Curran, Jitesh Sharma (wk), Liam Livingstone, Shashank Singh, Ashutosh Sharma, Harpreet Brar, Kagiso Rabada, Harshal Patel.
