IPL 2023: Punjab Opt To Bat Against Kolkata; Check Playing XIs

Kolkata: Home team Kolkata Knight Riders will take on the Punjab Kings at the Eden Gardens in the 53rd match of the IPL tonight.

The Riders will be full of confidence after their five-run victory over Sunrisers Hyderabad in their previous match. Mumbai Indians defeated Punjab Kings by six wickets in the meantime.

On the point table, eighth-placed KKR have eight points after ten games, while seventh-placed PBKS have ten points after ten games.

KKR are missing Umesh Yadav’s services right now, but their spinners have been outstanding and were instrumental in the team’s victory in the last match.

The batting lineup of PBKS, in contrast, is superior to that of KKR, and they made IPL history by becoming the first side to hit 200+ runs in four straight games. It would be intriguing to watch Punjab’s potent batting lineup face up against KKR’s potent bowling lineup.

However, the problem for Punjab has been their underwhelming bowling assault, particularly their spinners, who have taken the fewest wickets of any team in this tournament.

These two teams have played 31 matches against each other so far, where Kolkata Knight Riders won 20 matches while Punjab Kings won 11 games. Another great contest is anticipated here between these two teams on Monday.
