IPL 2025 Head-to-Head: KKR vs. PBKS At the legendary Eden Gardens on Saturday, the reigning champion Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), who have been in terrible form in the current Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025, will take against the Punjab Kings (PBKS).
The host team will try to halt Shreyas Iyer’s team in an attempt to make it 2-0, little over ten days after that crazy match in which PBKS successfully defended 111 against KKR.
PBKS is one of six clubs that are currently in a better position than them to finish in the playoffs. The ardent supporters saw Harshit Rana’s four-wicket haul in their last meeting, which saw him dismiss PBKS for a pitiful 111.
Kolkata’s chase of 112 seemed to be an easy task, but the night had not yet seen the complete chaos on the field as ace spinner Yuzvendra Chahal twirled his web around the KKR hitters, dismissing them for a just 95.
