The eighth match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 will see Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) take on Punjab Kings (PBKS) on Friday. This match will be played at Mumbai’s Wankhede Stadium. The Kolkata Knight Riders lost to Royal Challengers Bangalore in a last-over, low-scoring thriller; but the way Shreyas Iyer and his men kept hanging in there despite the low total should give the fans and the side a lot of confidence.
Punjab, on the other hand, will come into this match after a superb run chase against the Royal Challengers Bangalore where they chased down a stiff target of 205. They have perhaps the most explosive batting order in the tournament and can be quite difficult to contain when they get going and hence, the task will be cut out for the KKR bowlers.
Punjab, however, need to be far better with the ball and hence, the addition of Kagiso Rabada should bolster their bowling resources.
Let’s have a look at head-to-head numbers between both the sides:
