Kolkata Knight Riders vs Punjab Kings: Who Will Win Today Match in IPL 2023?
Kolkata Knight Riders vs Punjab Kings Today Match IPL 2023 Preview
Kolkata Knight Riders will face Punjab Kings in the 53rd game of the Indian Premier League 2023 on Monday (May 8), at Eden Gardens in Kolkata. Last year’s magical number for securing a postseason spot was 16, therefore the Kolkata Royals (KKR) must win their final four games to attain that figure. With 10 rating points, Punjab Kings (PBKS) are in a far better position than KKR and just need three more victories in four matches to reach that magic number. This season, KKR’s home games have been unfortunate, but their hitters have managed to score some runs. The openers are in good form, and the middle order has carried a lot of the load this season.
