Consider the below Kolkata Knight Riders vs Punjab Kings match predictions from the 42nd game of the 2024 Indian Premier League, which our team at CBA thinks could well turn out correct. KKR to win, put up highest score in first 6 overs, post the highest opening partnership: 3.25 (Melbet) Philip Salt to score 25+ runs, Angkrish Raghuvanshi to hit at least 1 six, Mitchell Starc and Arshdeep Singh to take at least 1 wicket each: 4.25 (Melbet) Andre Russell to score 25+ runs, hit at least 1 six & take at least 1 wicket: 2.50 (Melbet) Kolkata Knight Riders vs Punjab Kings – IPL Today's Match Prediction In this section, we provide our KKR vs PBKS predictions, which will hopefully help you bet on the 2024 IPL more confidently. KKR vs. PBKS Win Probability: KKR (70%) PBKS (30%) In the last 10 matches between both sides, KKR has won seven and PBKS has won three. So far, the two teams have met 12 times at the Eden Gardens, Kolkata. The hosts have dominated proceedings, winning nine, while Punjab winning only three. The KKR batters are far ahead of their Punjab counterparts. That said, their bowling attacks look almost equal. The Eden Gardens wicket has been a belter of a track this season. It will assist spinners in the middle overs, but pacers will need to do something special to get any purchase off this wicket. Expect a flurry of runs. KKR vs PBKS MATCH PREDICTION The last time these two teams faced off at the Eden Gardens, the match went down to the wire. However, barring that, this dual between KKR and PBKS at this venue has generally been a one-sided affair, with the host team dominating the visitors. This time, we are fully backing the Kolkata Knight Riders to emerge victorious, primarily due to their depth in batting. The Punjab Kings' top order hasn't performed well so far.

In their last game, the hosts inflicted a narrow defeat on RCB. KKR’s batting unit is in top form, having scored the most runs in powerplays, second only to SRH. Mitch Starc’s form will give nightmares to the KKR camp. The IPL’s most expensive player has been smashed all over the park; Starc’s economy rate is 11.48, and he has gone wicketless in four of the seven matches. KOLKATA KNIGHT RIDERS PROBABLE XI Philip Salt (wk), Sunil Narine, Venkatesh Iyer, Shreyas Iyer (C), Angkrish Raghuvanshi, Ramandeep Singh, Rinku Singh, Andre Russell, Varun Chakravarthy, Harshith Rana, Mitchell Starc, Suyash Sharma (Impact Player) Punjab Kings Punjab Kings are currently 9th on the points table with two victories and six losses. They are on a four-match losing streak. This is a must-win game for them if they wish to qualify for the play-offs. Unfortunately, Shikhar Dhawan is still not fully fit, so Sam Curran will continue as the stand-in skipper. Also, the out-of-form Jonny Bairstow might be replaced by Rilee Rossouw. Their batting performance, especially in the powerplay overs, is a cause for concern, as they have scored the least runs among all the teams in that phase. PUNJAB KINGS PROBABLE XI Sam Curran (C), Rilee Rossouw, Prabhsimran Singh, Liam Livingstone, Jitesh Sharma (wk), Shashank Singh, Harshal Patel, Harpreet Brar, Kagiso Rabada, Harpreet Singh, Arshdeep Singh, Ashutosh Sharma (Impact Player) Key Players Kolkata Knight Riders Sunil Narine Sunil Narine has set a gold standard for the quintessential pinch hitter. With the bat, he has scored 286 runs, including 20 sixes, at a strike rate of 176.54. With the ball, he has taken nine wickets at an economy rate of 7.11. Also, Narine has taken the most wickets against PBKS (33) in IPL history after Umesh Yadav. Andre Russell “Muscle Russell” has always cherished playing against the Punjab Kings. He has scored the most runs against them on the current KKR roster. Russell's strike rate of 200.00 against PBKS is the highest-ever in IPL history against the visitors. Harshit Rana The rookie has been impressive and has been the most reliable pacer for KKR so far. He has picked up nine wickets, but the important aspect is that he picked those wickets at crucial times when KKR desperately needed them. He certainly is a contender for “Emerging Player of the Tournament”. Punjab Kings Ashutosh Sharma Ashutosh Sharma has certainly looked like the best batter for PBKS this season. He played a magnificent innings of 68 runs against the Mumbai Indians, too, at a time when his team was struggling at 77/6. Punjab will always fancy their chances as long as he is on the crease. Liam Livingstone Though he is not having a good season so far, the swashbuckling batter’s hard-hitting ability, especially in the middle order, will be crucial for the Punjab Kings if they want to maintain a healthy run rate. Also, he can chip in with a few overs with the ball if required. Harshal Patel With 13 wickets from eight matches, Harshal Patel is currently the joint leading wicket taker of the tournament along with Bumrah and Chahal. His yorkers can be unplayable, rattling even the best of batsmen. However, his economy rate of 9.58 needs to improve against KKR, a side packed with power hitters and stroke-makers.
