Despite plenty of help for the bowlers, the pitch is expected to be a decent one to bat on. Although the pacers should get some swing early on, the batters will benefit from the bounce off the surface. In the last game, there was some turn available, and the same should be true in this match. Wickets in hand will be crucial, with a total of 170 being a good target. After winning the toss, both teams will try to chase, with dew likely to play a role in the match’s second innings.

On April 1st, these two teams will face off in the 8th match of the Indian Super League (IPL) in Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai. Kolkata Knight Riders are currently in fifth position, while Punjab Kings are currently in third position in the Indian Super League (IPL) standings.
Kolkata had a terrific start to the competition, winning their first game against the Chennai Super Kings before losing their second game to the Royal Challengers Bangalore. KKR were swept out for just 128 runs after their batters failed to play fluently.
The bowlers then did an outstanding job, taking the game to the final over before Karthik pulled the game to a close for the Royal Challengers, who triumphed by three wickets. Venkatesh Iyer has failed in both of his games so far, and KKR will be counting on him to reclaim his form. The other batters must also be in top shape. The bowlers have performed admirably in both games and will hope to maintain their excellent form in this contests.
Meanwhile, Punjab Kings got off to a strong start in IPL 2022, defeating RCB by 5 wickets while chasing 205 runs with an over to spare. Their bowlers were costly in the first game, particularly in the death overs, and they’ll have to improve on that. Kagiso Rabada is back, which will give their bowling attack a major boost. Punjab’s batting line-up, which includes Mayank Agarwal, Shikhar Dhawan, Liam Livingstone, Bhanuka Rajapksa, Shahrukh Khan, and others, is one of the strongest in this year’s IPL. Punjab will seek to keep their winning momentum going in this game as well.
