KKR Vs PBKS, IPL 2024 Live Score: KKR Are Hammering PBKS With Constant Boundaries

KKR Vs PBKS: Hello and welcome to the live coverage of the 42th match of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 between Kolkata Knight Riders and Punjab Kings at the Eden Gradens in Kolkata. The fixture promises to be an exciting affair and we will be providing you with the live updates from the match in the ‘City of Joy’.

Kolkata Knight Riders are in tremendous form in IPL 2024, as the Shreyas Iyer-led side are currently second in the table with 5 wins and 2 losses in their 7 matches, and have a highly impressive Net Run Rate (NRR) of +1.206. On the other hand, Punjab Kings are in dismal form this season as they have recorded 4 consecutive losses in their last 4 matches and the Sam Curran-led side are 9th in the table with 2 wins and 6 losses in their 8 matches this season.

Yesterday’s result has had two contrasting emotions for the sides playing today, with Sunrisers Hydeabad’s defeat to Royal Challenegrs Bengaluru giving a cushion of advantage to KKR, as they can now make a point difference of two between them and SRH in the same number of matches, with a victory over PBKS.

PBKS will now be quite worried as a victory for RCB now keeps the latter level on points with PBKS and a defeat for them today can increase their chances of finishing at the bottom of the table.
