KKR vs PBKS UAE Match Scorecard
Punjab Kings have experienced an unexpected slump recently but will look to break their winless streak against Kolkata Knight Riders at Dubai International Stadium on March 15th.
This will be their 28th meeting and so far, KKR have taken 19 victories over Punjab. Sunil Narine will play an integral part for Kolkata in this match as they aim to add another win against them.
KKR have had an inconsistent start to their tournament campaign and their recent losses to Delhi Daredevils and Mumbai Indians have dampened their chances of reaching the playoffs.
But their top order has found form, giving them hope that qualification might still be achievable over their remaining four games.
KL Rahul’s 55-ball 67 was instrumental in helping them post an impressive total, supported by Mayank Agarwal, Angkrish Raghuvanshi and Rahul Tripathi.
Overall the bowlers did well but Mujeeb Ur Rahman and Andrew Tye gave away too many runs in the death overs.
Mohammed Shami, Ravi Bishnoi and Arshdeep Singh – three Indian players on KKR’s side – shared six wickets between them to keep the run-rate under control and restrict PBKS’ total to an underwhelming score.
A late surge from Andre Russell brought them all the way back into contention until Mohammad Shami caught Andre for short third man on their final delivery; unfortunately for Andre Russell he wasn’t denied any single by being caught at short third man by Mohammad Shami; meaning both teams remain fourth with 10 points out of 11 matches while PBKS are sixth with eight points from 11 matches played and it is vital that both teams turn things around soon in order to increase their chances of making playoffs!
KKR vs PBKS Mohali Match Results
Due to rain, today’s match has been postponed and both teams will now share one point. Both would likely have been disappointed that an opportunity at victory may have passed them by; had the match continued, KKR may have had an edge.
Instead, PBKS will climb from fifth in the table up to fourth place, making up ground on DC and RCB in terms of playoff prospects while losing an extra game could hamper those hopes further.
After winning the toss and choosing to bat first, Punjab Kings got off to an outstanding start thanks to an exceptional 120-run opening stand between Priyansh Arya and Prabhsimran Singh. Nehal Wadhera and Shashank Singh took an even-handed approach as Punjab posted 217/6 runs in 10 overs.
In response, KKR’s top order quickly imploded. Ajinkya Rahane was caught lbw while attempting a slog sweep against Glenn Maxwell while Angkrish Raghuvanshi was bowled for 37 off Chahal’s first over. From then onwards their innings unravelled until eventually all out for 95 runs was reached.
Yuzvendra Chahal stood out as the star bowler for PBKS as he took four wickets to help them beat KKR by 16 runs. Chahal captured some notable scalps including Ravi Bopara, Nitish Rana, Moeen Ali and Andre Russell before finishing with career-best figures of 4-28 – an outstanding display by an Indian leg-spinner!
KKR captain Shreyas Iyer hit his fifth fifty of the season without finding an opening against their sturdy defence.
KKR vs PBKS Match Scorecard 2021
Today marks KKR and PBKS’ inaugural meeting this season, both teams sitting midtable with 6 points but KKR having the slight edge due to a higher net run rate. This match promises to be an intense contest that could decide the playoff race as both look for ways into the top four spots.
For 17 years, these rivalries have produced memorable sporting theatre that statistics cannot fully convey. Individual brilliance often determines match outcomes in this tense contest; Gautam Gambhir led his side to two championship titles during this era through leadership brilliance that saw KKR dominate championship season after season; his batting partnerships with Robin Uthappa terrorized PBKS bowlers while his tactical time out momentum shift strategies quickly became mainstays of IPL cricket.
At their inaugural IPL 2008 meeting, both teams saw drastically different fortunes: PBKS took control in the opening game while KKR responded in the second to level up proceedings and make this rivalry intensely exciting.
Over time, however, their rivalry intensity signals were further cemented; with KKR showing superior institutional knowledge and championship season dominance experience giving them an advantage in playoff matches while their pressure handling metrics in high pressure situations also outshone those of PBKS.
2021’s match scorecard was an epic chapter in its own right. While KKR’s powerplay scoring trends in the early stages favored them, while death overs performance analysis favored PBKS more so – conceding just 38 runs from overs 16-20 thanks to Umesh Yadav’s fiery bowling spell!
KKR’s batsmen struggled against Mohali’s slower surface, until Rahul Tripathi and Shahrukh Khan hit two sixes to turn things around and swing it in their favor.
A thrilling last over finish frequency trend favoured their home side at the end of an intense and dramatic match.
KKR vs PBKS Match Scorecard 2024
In 2024’s encounter between KKR and PBKS, PBKS managed to defend an unprecedented total of only 111 successfully – the lowest successful defence ever in IPL history (excluding shortened matches ).
Sunil Narine took four wickets for 37 runs against KKR; his best against Umesh Yadav who managed 35. On the run charts against PBKS, Gautam Gambhir tops with 492 while Andre Russell trails closely at 438 runs scored against them.
In pursuit of their target of 170 runs, Priyansh Arya and Prabhsimran Singh created a partnership of 120 runs before Shreayas Iyer made his mark with 69 not out.
But Yuzvendra Chahal precipitated one of the greatest middle order collapses ever witnessed in IPL history; they collapsed rapidly from there to 95 for 5 in just 17 balls due to rain and lightning at Eden Gardens before eventually leaving with one point each; only two games of nine for both teams had won two wins from nine; these teams meet again for another high scoring match on May 14 – it’s sure to be an exciting contest
KKR vs PBKS Match Scorecard 2025
Punjab Kings (PBKS) successfully defended an innings total of 111 against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at Eden Gardens on Tuesday – the lowest total ever seen in IPL history.

KKR’s chase was not easy as they lost both openers early in their innings. Harshit Rana struck three times during the powerplay while Varun Chakravarthy, Sunil Narine and Yuzvendra Chahal all took wickets to leave their hosts struggling.
Due to persistent rain and lightning, the match was ultimately called off and will now resume in Delhi on Wednesday. Sunil Narine leads all bowlers against PBKS with 36 wickets; followed by his teammates Piyush Chawla and Umesh Yadav from Kolkata Knight Riders.
