PBKS enter the clash after a demoralizing 8-wicket defeat to Sunrisers Hyderabad, where despite a stellar 82 from skipper Shreyas Iyer, they were overwhelmed by a historic hundred from Abhishek Sharma. Punjab will look to regroup and find consistency in both departments.
Their top-order boasts the explosive Priyansh Arya and Prabhsimran Singh, supported by the composure of Iyer and the firepower of Marcus Stoinis, Glenn Maxwell, and Shashank Singh in the middle order.
With the ball, they rely on the pace duo of Arshdeep Singh and Lockie Ferguson—although the latter is battling injury concerns—while Yuzvendra Chahal leads the spin attack.
KKR, on the other hand, are flying high after a commanding win over Chennai Super Kings, where Sunil Narine shone with an all-round performance, scoring 44 and bagging 3 wickets.
Their top order—led by Narine and Quinton de Kock—has been aggressive, while Ajinkya Rahane lends experience and stability. With match-winners like Rinku Singh, Venkatesh Iyer, and Andre Russell, KKR possess the firepower to dismantle any bowling lineup.
