KKR vs PBKS Match Prediction: In IPL 2025, defending champions Kolkata Knight Riders have looked far away from the formidable title-winning team they were last season. They have won only three out of five matches so far and will need a spirited run from here on to reach the playoffs.
KKR have lost their last two games and next will face a Punjab Kings unit that has clearly been stronger than them this season. PBKS have registered five wins in three games.
Both teams have suffered losses in their respective last matches and would look for course correction in this encounter. They met earlier in the tournament in Mullanpur, where PBKS defended a total of 111. KKR would be looking for revenge at the Eden Gardens.
