Second placed KKR take on second from bottom Punjab Kings at Eden Gardens. The home side are enjoying a stellar season with five wins from their seven matches. The visitors have lost their last four matches and will be desperate to end their win drought. They have been very unlucky as two of those four defeats have been by one and two run margins. KKR have arguably the two best all-rounders in the competition in Sunil Narine and Andre Russell with both players in excellent form.

Kolkata Knight Riders vs Punjab Kings Match Prediction: who will win?
Having two of the best T20 all rounders allows KKR to maintain a balance with the bat and the ball especially as they can now use the Impact Player as well. Punjab’s major problem remains their top order with none of them contributing big scores with any consistency. They have relied on young stars Shashank Singh and Ashutosh Sharma to get runs. Both of these players have been in brilliant form but their lack of experience in the final overs has seen them fall agonisingly short on two occasions. The form and the experience of the home side will see them to victory.
Kolkata Knight Riders vs Punjab Kings Toss Prediction
The pitch at Eden Gardens has been good for batting this season so far. The team winning the toss should go for their preference as the state of the pitch remains the same over the course of 40 overs.
KKR vs PBKS Top Run Scorer Prediction
Sunil Narine has enjoyed a golden IPL and we are backing him to be the leading run scorer in this match.
Kolkata Knight Riders vs Punjab Kings Top Wicket Taker Prediction
We are backing Sunil Narine to be the top wicket taker in this match.
Kolkata Knight Riders vs Punjab Kings Betting Preview
Captain Shikhar Dhawan is hopeful he will be fit for this match and so will his team. He urgently needs a return to form to bolster the top order. If he can lay a platform for the middle order, then Punjab can look at setting a huge score. The KKR openers have been so belligerent in the Powerplay, that Captain Shreyas Iyers lack of runs has hardly been noticed. He is too good a player to be out of form for too long and if he comes good in this match, then KKR will be the winner. The home side have a multitude of match winners so they are not overly reliant on one player.
