Punjab Kings vs Kolkata Knight Riders
- IPL 2023
PBKS vs KKR Match Preview:
In the IPL 2022 standings, Punjab Kings came in sixth place, one spot ahead of Kolkata Knight Riders. When they fell to KKR in the IPL final in 2014, PBKS came the closest to winning the competition. The trophy has been won by KKR on two different occasions.
Both teams this year are well-rounded units with strength in every department. The game on April 1, 2023 is expected to be fiercely competitive. This piece serves as a preview of the forthcoming match between the teams and concludes with a winning prediction.
PBKS Preview:
Although they came the closest to winning the IPL championship in 2008, PBKS have not lived up to their potential. In the championship game that year, RR defeated them. They got a second chance in 2014, but they were defeated by KKR in the title match. They failed to reach the playoffs in any of the previous years.
KKR Preview:
KKR has previously won the IPL championship twice, in 2012 and 2014. They have, however, never been able to match that performance. They have excellent batting depth all the way up to number nine. They also have seven bowlers who can bowl a full quota of overs if necessary. They are, however, extremely reliant on elderly players such as Russell, Shakib al Hasan, and Narine.

Pitch Report:
PBKS vs KKR
Pitch Report:The typical IPL score at Mohali’s IS Bindra Stadium is 170. The pitch seems to benefit spinners a little bit in the summer because there is no grass there. Captains that win the coin toss prefer to chase.
