45TH Match Prediction: KKR vs PBKS: The Kolkata Knight Riders looked down and out as the first half of the tournament ended and apparently that long hiatus helped them tremendously. In the second half, the Kolkata Knight Riders have done an incredibly good job so far, winning three of their four games, and are now the best candidates for playoff qualification. However, they still need to get at least two wins from the remaining three games.
Given the performance of the Punjab Kings in recent seasons, it’s safe to say that no other team has disappointed fans as often as the Punjab Kings. The kings of Punjab have been able to dictate terms very often, but then they failed to conclude the important moments. They looked good to make the playoffs when they first stepped onto the field in the second half of the season, but a couple of inappropriate results have hurt their chances. They’re still there, but they have to play some really stellar cricket from here.

The Punjab Kings have yet to reach their perfect eleven and that has a huge impact on their consistency.
The Kings rely too heavily on KL Rahul not only to give them great starts but also to finish their innings.
