KKR vs PBKS Head to Head Records Ahead of The 44th Match of IPL 2025
KKR face PBKS at Eden Gardens; KKR lead overall 21-13, but PBKS have won 3 of their last 4 IPL head-to-heads
Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) will host Punjab Kings (PBKS) in Match 44 of the IPL 2025 at the iconic Eden Gardens. With the league stage entering its decisive phase, both teams will be eyeing a crucial win to stay in contention for the playoffs. The Eden surface is known to aid batters under lights, but spinners could still come into play as the match progresses.
KKR have endured an up-and-down season with flashes of brilliance but have struggled with consistency, especially in their middle order. Their spin bowling remains a strength, led by the ever-reliable Sunil Narine and Varun Chakravarthy.
PBKS, on the other hand, come into this fixture in better form, having defeated KKR by 16 runs earlier this month. The Kings have combined explosive batting with strategic bowling efforts and appear to be peaking at the right time, with Yuzvendra Chahal and Arshdeep Singh proving match-winners.
In the head-to-head battle, KKR hold the edge with 21 wins in 34 encounters, while PBKS have claimed 13 victories. However, PBKS have the recent upper hand, winning three of the last four meetings—including the last two in a row (by 16 and 8 runs, respectively). Their form in recent encounters will give them confidence heading into this match in Kolkata.
