    Nitish at toss

    It looks to be on the drier side. We are going with the same team that we played in the last game. We wanted to bat first so that spin can come into play more.

  • 7:07 PM (IST) Posted by Varun Malik

    PBKS Playing XI

    Prabhsimran Singh, Shikhar Dhawan(c), Bhanuka Rajapaksa, Liam Livingstone, Jitesh Sharma(w), Sam Curran, Shahrukh Khan, Harpreet Brar, Rishi Dhawan, Rahul Chahar, Arshdeep Singh

    Dhawan at toss

    We will be batting first. The surface looks quite dry and we would like to put a good total  on it and later defend it. It's a good thing that we are scoring 200. One change, Bhanuka comes in place of Short. It looks like it will stop a bit and come.

  • 7:01 PM (IST) Posted by Varun Malik

    PBKS opt to bat

    Punjab have won the toss and they will be batting first. Big change for Punjab. Bhanuka comes in for Short. No changes for KKR.

  • 6:54 PM (IST) Posted by Varun Malik

    How PBKS are going?

    Punjab have not won two consecutive games after their win in their first two matches of the tournament. They are in the 10-point jam and need a win to break into the top 4.

  • 6:49 PM (IST) Posted by Varun Malik

    How are KKR going?

    Kolkata's top order has been a center point of debate. They have regularly chopped their openers and Jason Roy now seems to be the fix they needed. The middle order has made a few contributions as well and Russell scored some runs in the previous game. They have power in their spin attack with Suyash and Varun leading the way. But the fast bowling look toothless.

  • 6:39 PM (IST) Posted by Varun Malik

    What to expect

    The venue of the match is Eden Gardens, Kolkata. The dimensions of the ground are small in size and the batters enjoy playing here. The average winning score in IPL 2023 is 222. There is some turn for the spinners but not enough to damage the batters' party.
