KKR vs PBKS Dream11 Prediction IPL 2024: Kolkata Knight Riders will take on the Punjab Kings in Match 42 of the Indian Premier League 2024.
IPL 2024 Match 42 KKR vs PBKS: Preview
These two teams are polar opposites in the IPL 2024 league table.
Kolkata Knight Riders came off of a disappointing defeat against Rajasthan Royals for the top of the table to win the most nail-biting match of the season against Royal Challengers Bengaluru. Despite going 50-50 in their last four games, KKR is still second on the league table with 10 points in seven matches. A win here would bring them very close to playoff qualification with almost half the league stage still remaining.
Punjab Kings, on the other hand, have lost their last four matches and are virtually out of the tournament despite taking all of those losses right down the wire. If their luck faired better, they would be near the top of the table. But for now, PBKS just has four points in eight matches. A win here would keep the team’s playoff hopes alive
