Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) will be facing off against Punjab Kings (PBKS) in match no. 53 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata on Monday. PBKS are one of 4 teams on 10 points currently and need a win on Monday night to keep themselves in the hunt for a playoffs berth.

Shah Rukh Khan-owned KKR can join PBKS and the other three teams on 10 points as well with a win on Monday night. Nitish Rana’s side are coming into this match with an impressive win over Sunrisers Hyderabad last week – defending 9 runs in the final over.

Overall in the head-to-head between the two side, two-time former champions KKR hold a massive edge having won 20 out of the 31 matches so far. However, PBKS won the last encounter between the two teams earlier this season in Mohali in a rain-hit clash via DLS method.

Shikhar Dhawan’s side are coming into this match with a loss under their belt, after failing to defend 214 runs against Mumbai Indians in Mohali last week.
