An exciting clash is on the hands as Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) prepare to lock horns with Punjab Kings (PBKS) at the Wankhede Stadium on Friday. KKR are fresh from a defeat and will hope to get back to winning ways while PBKS will aim to continue the winning run.
The Kolkata franchise faced a crushing defeat against Royal Challengers Bangalore in a low-scoring thriller. They got wrong with the strategy and a shoulder injury to Andre Russell didn’t help their cause either.
KKR would look to fine tune their skills and come all guns blazing against PBKS, who are looking one of the top contenders to win the elusive IPL 2022 title. They have a lot of power-hitter in their ranks in Odean Smith and Shahrukh Khan. The addition of Kagiso Rabada in their bowling unit will only strengthen them.
