Live: KKR vs PBKS Live, Match 42, Kolkata | Kolkata vs Punjab Live Match Today | Ipl 2024 Live
When: Kolkata Knight Riders vs Sunrisers Hyderabad, April 26, 19:30 IST
Where: Eden Gardens, Kolkata
What to expect: The average score batting first at the Eden Gardens this season has been a shade under 204. Surfaces have allowed for fluent ball-striking and the short side boundaries have further aided the batters. Expect more of the same although the tracks could start to get drier due to the heat wave that's prevalent in the city.
Team watch
Kolkata Knight Riders
Injuries/Availability: Mitchell Starc didn't bowl at all in the nets and the Australian pacer is allegedly nursing a finger injury that he picked up during the clash against Royal Challengers Bangalore. There is no confirmation yet about whether he'll be available or not for this clash.
Tactics and Matchups: Andre Russell has a strike rate of 196.72 in the death overs (16-20) this season. He also has a favourable matchup against Kagiso Rabada and Sam Curran, striking at 222 and 233 respectively. The West Indian's battle against the two quicks could be a crucial sub-plot in this contest. If Starc isn't fit to play, Dushmantha Chameera could slot into the XI. The Sri Lankan fast bowler did have a decent stint in the nets as a prep for this possibility.
Probable XI: Phil Salt (wk), Sunil Narine, Angkrish Raghuvanshi, Shreyas Iyer (c), Rinku Singh, Andre Russell, Ramandeep Singh, Mitchell Starc/Dushmantha Chameera, Varun Chakravarthy, Harshit Rana, Suyash Sharma. [Impact Player: Venkatesh Iyer]
Punjab Kings
Injuries/Availability: Shikhar Dhawan has been on the road to recovery and could make a return to the XI in this fixture.
Tactics and Matchups: Shikhar Dhawan averages 52.5 against Sunil Narine, having been dismissed just twice in 91 deliveries by the spinner. Sam Curran strikes at 169 against the West Indian with just one dismissal. The two left-handers will be critical for PBKS to neutralise Narine's defensive bowling skills. If Dhawan returns to the XI, Harpreet Singh will make way for the skipper. There is also a possibility for Jonny Bairstow to slot back in, which would mean an axe for Rilee Rossouw.
Probable XI: Shikhar Dhawan (c), Jonny Bairstow/Rilee Rossouw, Prabhsimran Singh, Sam Curran, Jitesh Sharma (wk), Liam Livingstone, Shashank Singh, Ashutosh Sharma, Harpreet Brar, Kagiso Rabada, Harshal Patel. [Impact player: Arshdeep Singh]
