The 44th match of IPL 2025 is set for April 26, featuring Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) facing off against Punjab Kings (PBKS) at Eden Gardens, starting at 7:30 PM IST. KKR has a historical advantage, winning 21 of their 34 encounters with PBKS. However, KKR’s recent form has been disappointing, as they seek to capitalize on their home ground. On the other hand, PBKS is in strong form with five wins this season, showcasing their potential. The pitch at Eden Gardens is expected to support high-scoring games, making this matchup crucial for both teams in pursuit of playoff spots.
