IPL 2025: Match 44 – KKR vs PBKS Predictions – Who will win Today? Match Preview, Expert Tips, Toss & Win Probability
KKR vs PBKS IPL 2025 Match 44 preview: toss prediction, win odds, pitch report, and key insights from Eden Gardens, Kolkata
Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) will take on Punjab Kings (PBKS) in Match 44 of the IPL 2025 at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata on April 26. The two teams meet again after a series of dramatic contests, including PBKS’ unforgettable defense of 111 earlier this season and their record chase of 262 last year.
KKR head into this match with playoff hopes hanging in the balance. Despite boasting a strong spin attack and home advantage, inconsistency in both batting and death bowling has hurt their campaign. As defending champions, they’ll be keen to arrest their slide and stay alive in the top-four race.
Punjab Kings, meanwhile, have had the upper hand in recent encounters with KKR and will look to build on that. Although they lost their last match to RCB, their Indian core has shown great resolve, and the team will be eager to bounce back. The overseas players like Inglis and Stoinis, however, need to contribute more to take pressure off the rest.
