IPL 2022: Picks for the match between Kolkata Knight Riders and Punjab Kings

Two-time champions Kolkata Knight Riders will lock horns against Punjab Kings in the eighth match of the ongoing IPL 2022 at the Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai on Friday. KKR had lost their previous match against RCB and they will look to get back to winning ways.

We take a look at Picks for the match between Kolkata Knight Riders and Punjab Kings. We will look at head-to-head records, stats, players to look out for in the upcoming match.

PBKS, on the other hand, won their first match against RCB and they will aim to build on the same momentum. It has been noticed that the new ball bowlers are getting help from the surfaces if they are bowling in the right areas. Umesh Yadav has bowled quick in the first two matches and he has been rewarded for bowling a good line and length.

KKR bowlers have impressed so far in the tournament but their batters might need to re-think their strategy in the upcoming matches. KKR were positive in their intent against RCB but they would want to play according to the match and pitch condition as they could only manage 128 runs.

If batting is the department in which KKR would want to come up with more consistent performances, it is the bowling, which was a worry for PBKS in their opening clash against RCB. The Mayank Agarwal-led team will want to come up with a better bowling show against KKR as they conceded 205 runs against RCB.

Head to Head: Matches: 29, Won by KKR: 19, Won by PBKS: 10.

Kolkata Knight Riders clearly hold the wood on Punjab Kings in the head-to-head battle.

Players to look out for: Shreyas Iyer, Varun Chakravarthy, Umesh Yadav, Sunil Narine, and Andre Russell will be the crucial players for KKR.

Mayank Agarwal, Shikhar Dhawan, Odeon Smith, Shahrukh Khan, Liam Livingston, and Arshdeep Singh will be the key players for PBKS.
