PBKS vs KKR Match Preview
Punjab Kings will face Kolkata Knight Riders in the 21st match of the Indian Premier League 2021 on Monday.
Both the sides have had a very disappointing start to their 2021 Indian Premier League campaign, but there is one thing that separates the two. Punjab Kings, who won only one of their first four games, played brilliantly to beat defending champions Mumbai Indians in their previous game. Thanks to that game, Punjab has now 2 wins in five games and are currently placed at fifth spot in the points table.
Kolkata Knight Riders, on the other hand might have won their first match against SunRisers Hyderabad but since then they went on to lose four matches on trot. With no doubt, they are currently languishing at the bottom of the points table with only 2 points in their account.
As long as the head to head record is concerned, out of a total of 27 games between the two teams, Punjab won only 9 games while Kolkata won the remaining 18 games.
