Punjab Kings (PBKS) will look to return to winning ways as they face Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in Match 31 of IPL 2025, scheduled to take place in Mullanpur, New Chandigarh, on Tuesday.
Both sides have displayed glimpses of brilliance this season, setting the stage for an intense and thrilling contest. PBKS are currently positioned sixth on the points table with three wins and two losses from five matches. In their previous game, they posted a massive 245/6 against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) but failed to defend it, eventually losing by eight wickets. While their aggressive batting lineup has been consistently impressive, the spin bowling remains a weak link.
PBKS vs KKR Head To Head record
Out of 33 meetings between the two sides, Kolkata Knight Riders have dominated with 21 victories, while Punjab Kings have secured 12 wins. However, in their most recent clash in 2024, PBKS pulled off a remarkable chase, hunting down a massive 261-run target with eight balls to spare. Interestingly, Shreyas Iyer—currently leading PBKS—was captaining KKR during that high-scoring encounter.
