KKR vs PBKS Dream11 Prediction, Fantasy Cricket Tips, Player Stats For 44th Match of IPL 2025
KKR and PBKS lock horns in another high-stakes IPL 2025 clash after two unforgettable thrillers
Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) will face Punjab Kings (PBKS) in the 44th match of IPL 2025 on 26 April 2025, at Eden Gardens, Kolkata. This article will guide you in making the perfect team for KKR vs PBKS match with expert Dream11 predictions and fantasy cricket tips.
As the IPL 2025 league stage reaches a crucial juncture, Kolkata Knight Riders and Punjab Kings renew their rivalry in what promises to be another gripping encounter. Their last two meetings have been nothing short of historic—PBKS defended a mere 111 earlier this season, while they chased a mammoth 262 in 2024. The records may be polar opposites, but the result has been the same: PBKS triumphing on both occasions.
Now, KKR are hungry for revenge and in desperate need of points. The defending champions are in danger of falling out of playoff contention, sitting outside the top four with a crowded table ahead of them. Inconsistency and a misfiring middle order have hampered their title defense, and this match could be pivotal in reigniting their campaign.
For Punjab, the goal is consolidation. Despite a recent loss to RCB, they remain in the top half and look the more settled side. Their Indian core, led by the likes of Arshdeep Singh and Chahal, has been instrumental, but it’s now time for Josh Inglis and Marcus Stoinis to deliver with the bat and lend balance to a promising unit.
