Punjab Kings will take on Kolkata Knight Riders at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad today.
The mega Bollywood inspired IPL 2021 PBKS vs KKR match will begin at 7.30 PM IST. Kolkata Knight Riders have been extremely poor this season and are on an unwanted losing streak of three matches. After starting their campaign with a win over SRH, Kolkata lost their way in their tournament.
Their batting has been one of the biggest letdowns of this season. The very high-rated Shubman Gill has failed to make any impact so far in this season, while captain Eoin Morgan is also going through a rough patch. On the other hand, PBKS will be high on confidence after a comprehensive 9-wicket win over defending champions Mumbai Indians in their last match. PBKS bowling has been on and off this season as the inclusion of Ravi Bishnoi as finally brought some spark to it in the last match. TEAM ANALYSIS
