KKR will host PBKS in match 44 of the IPL 2025 at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata. KKR have lost five out of the eight games they have played and finds themselves in a must-win situation. The tournament has crossed the halfway mark, and KKR are languishing at the bottom half of the table.
The team has been let down by the batters, who have not helped KKR post challenging scores. Meanwhile, PBKS have been top-notch under the leadership of Shreyas Iyer. The team has won five and lost three games.
PBKS have been inconsistent over the years, but this year they have looked composed and determined to win the title. They'll be happy to face a down-and-out KKR, whom they defeated a few days ago, defending a paltry target of 112. Eden Gardens Pitch ReportThe pitches have been flat with little to no help for the bowlers, especially the spinners, who used to be a threat on the surface.
The issue was raised by KKR captain Ajinkya Rahane as well, however, he did not get much support from the curator.
