KKR vs PBKS Live Score Updates of IPL 2024: Sam Curran Wins Toss, Punjab Kings Opt to Bowl First

Sam Curran has won the toss and Punjab Kings will bowl first in this match against Kolkata Knight Riders. Shikhar Dhawan is yet to recover completely and Jonny Bairstow replaces Liam Livingstone in the playing XI for the visitor. For KKR, Mitchell Starc misses out with an injury and he has been replaced by Dushmantha Chameera.

Kolkata Knight Riders take on Punjab Kings in what is expected to be another exciting contest in this edition of the Indian Premier League. The Knight Riders are flying high as they occupy the second spot on the IPL 2024 points table and are looking really good to seal a spot in the playoffs. Shreyas Iyer and his men have been dominant for the most part in this tournament, with five wins in seven matches. But they would want to be more clinical in their performance, especially with the ball in hand, given how they escaped with a one-run win against Royal Challengers Bengaluru in their last match. On the batting front, the Knight Riders have consistently posted strong totals on the board barring that one match against Chennai Super Kings and the home fans can expect the two-time champions to put on another dominant show at the Eden Gardens. IPL 2024 Kolkata Knight Riders vs Punjab Kings Free Live Streaming Online on JioCinema: Get TV Channel Telecast Details of KKR vs PBKS T20 Cricket Match on Star Sports.

Punjab Kings have had a very different story so far in IPL 2024. Shikhar Dhawan, their regular captain, suffered an injury in the match against Sunrisers Hyderabad and has yet to achieve full fitness. Sam Curran, the most expensive player in the side, has taken up captaincy responsibilities but that has not helped Punjab Kings string together wins.  Failures with the bat in hand have become one of the main reasons for their four consecutive losses and another defeat tonight can very well push them on the path of an early exit. The biggest positive for the Punjab Kings has been the duo of Shashank Singh and Ashutosh Sharma, both of whom have pummeled bowling attacks and scored quick runs whenever the team needed them. Expect both these players to play a crucial role for Punjab Kings in this match as well.KKR vs PBKS Dream11 Team Prediction, IPL 2024: Tips and Suggestions To Pick Best Winning Fantasy Playing XI for Kolkata Knight Riders vs Punjab Kings.
