Punjab Kings vs Kolkata Knight Riders Betting Odds

Punjab Kings to have a better opening partnership than Kolkata Knight Riders

Kolkata Knight Riders and Punjab Kings head into this game after both sides have got off to a decent start to the campaign. Kolkata Knight Riders have struggled to hit the heights of last season so far but have still managed to bag three wins in six matches and are in the mix to make the playoffs this season. In the last game they battered Chennai Super Kings and won the tie with eight wickets to spare. On the other hand Punjab Kings head into this game after a crushing defeat against Sunrisers Hyderabad as they failed to defend 245 runs and lost the game with eight wickets to spare. What makes this tip so enticing is the fact Punjab Kings openers have batted well in the last few games on the other hand Quinton De Kock has struggled to make an impact since his half century against RR. We believe Punjab Kings will have a better opening partnership in the upcoming game.

Our Prediction

Favorites to win

Punjab Kings

Even though Punjab Kings lost the last game against SRH, they have been a far better side in this campaign. They beat KKR in the group stages last season which is probably why the bookmakers have favoured them in this game and you should do the same as PBKS would bag maximum points in the upcoming game.
