In the 21st match of the ongoing IPL, Punjab Kings (PBKS) will clash with Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.
KL Rahul & Co. have been inconsistent since they have only won two of their five matches. PBKS have shown sparks of brilliance at times, whereas at other times, they have faltered. They will likely field the same team that played in the last game.
On the other hand, KKR’s campaign has been mired in complications. Even though they have a strong team on paper, the Eoin Morgan-led franchise has failed to convert their efforts into wins. It will be interesting to witness if Sunil Narine will be promoted to bat up the order to give his team the required start in powerplays. They’ll make no changes in their playing XI from the last game.
