KKR vs PBKS 2021 Match Preview
When we look at all encounters between Punjab Kings and Kolkata Knight Riders in the IPL, the latter has won twice the number of matches than the former. In their last IPL 2021 encounter in Ahmedabad, KKR won by 5 wickets with 20 balls to spare. Needless to say, KKR has a superior hold over PBKS. The key KKR batsmen in this match are Sunil Naraine, Shubham Gill, and Eoin Morgan.
Mayank Agarwal, KL Rahul, and Nicholas Pooran are the key players in this match for PBKS. We can expect some big runs from all of them. According to our KKR vs PBKS prediction and IPL Dream11 prediction, these are the players to watch out for in this match.
Pitch Report
The Persian Gulf is close to the Dubai International Cricket Stadium. As a result, there is a flow of warm, moist air from the gulf into the land. The pitch is dusty and rough due to the warm breeze that has been blowing all day. This is beneficial to the bowler. However, these conditions change at night as the warm air cools, allowing moisture to pool on the ground and pitch due to the dew phenomenon, which mostly benefits batsmen. In the D/N format of the IPL games, teams winning the toss prefer a run chase over batting first.
The Dubai stadium is also the ground where the final match will be played and the IPL winner of 2021 will be crowned, so all teams watch the IPL games played here very closely.
