Kolkata Knight Riders are set to take on Punjab Kings in Match 42 of IPL 2024 on Today (April 26) at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata.
KKR are currently placed decently in the 2nd position with 10 points in seven matches. PBKS are 9th in the table with just 4 points to their name in eight matches. To keep the playoff hopes alive, the Kings will have to win all of their last six matches.

Kolkata Knight Riders do have a massive historical advantage over the Punjab side with almost 70 percent wins over the years. KKR are also in terrific form this season, whereas PBKS are in dire straits.
Shikhar Dhawan's absence has hurt Punjab and their overseas stars have let them down as well. KKR's fortunes with their biggest buy Mitchell Starc is dwindling but their seasoned campaigners like Andre Russell and Sunil Narine have proved their worth again.
During the tenure of Gautam Gambhir as KKR captain, the Knights had an 11-4 advantage over Punjab, including a Final win in 2014. Given the match being played in Kolkata as well, the pressure will be immense on Punjab and we predict the Knight Riders to get another home victory today.
