KKR vs PBKS, Match No. 42 IPL 2024, Dream11 Team Prediction Today’s Match, Captain & Vice Captain, Match Prediction & Pitch ReportĀ 

Kolkata Knight Riders and Punjab Kings will lock horns at Eden Gardens in match no. 42 of the 2024 IPL. KKR and PBKS are two different sides at this point because KKR is acting like a top side, playing with confidence while sitting in second place in the points table. On the other hand, PBKS is playing like a team that lost confidence in themselves, which could be right as they have lost their previous four matches on the trot. This match will be played at Kolkataā€™s home ground, which gives them an additional advantage in the game, but you canā€™t just right off Punjab, as they are capable enough to beat any team on their day. So, this game can be turned into a healthy encounter, and it’s going to be interesting to see who will win todayā€™s IPL match. 

Match Prediction: KKR vs. PBKS Match No. 42 IPL 2024 (26 April 2024)

Who will win todayā€™s IPL match? The prediction for this match is going in favor of the home team, the Kolkata Knight Riders, who have a good record at Eden Gardens. KKR is currently playing like a great squad, with their main players performing. Punjab does not have a great record in Eden Gardens, and the team is also facing issues not just in batting after Shikharā€™s injury but in captaincy too. Based on the current performance and form and considering both teams’ previous records at the venue of todayā€™s match, KKR most likely will win this match.
