KKR vs PBKS Dream11 Prediction:
- Rinku Singh has hit 316 runs in the 2023 IPL and the 25 year old left-hander is our tip for Kolkata Knight Riders’ highest run scorer against Punjab Kings. Varun Chakravarthy has 14 wickets in this campaign and the spinner is a strong choice for Kolkata Knight Riders’ top wicket taker in this match.
- Liam Livingstone hit 82 not out from 42 balls in Match 46 and he is well worth backing as Punjab Kings’ highest run scorer against Kolkata Knight Riders. Arshdeep Singh has 16 wickets in this year’s competition and the opening bowler is our pick for Punjab Kings’ top wicket taker in this clash.
- Arshdeep Singh has been remarkably consistent at picking up wickets and we suggest choosing him to take over 1.5 wickets in this fixture.

Winning Chances:
A win for Kolkata Knight Riders will see them firmly in the mix of the teams chasing that fourth play-off spot whereas a victory for Punjab Kings would put them in the top four positions. Neither team comes into this game with particularly good form but we think that Kolkata Knight Riders’ extraordinary victory last Thursday will do wonders for their confidence. They have won some big moments in this campaign and we are backing Kolkata Knight Riders to win this match.
Kolkata Knight Riders have a 80% chance to win this match
Punjab Kings have a 20% chance to win this match
Top Key Players:
KOLKATA
Rinku Singh
with an average of two sixes per innings in the IPL 2023, the left-hander has added to his reputation this year with some fine innings with high strike-rates.
Jason Roy
the attacking English opener hit four fours in his first game back with the team. He has impressed in this year’s IPL after being signed after the start of the competition.
Varun Chakravarthy
as the eighth leading wicket taker in the tournament, it has been a successful campaign for the spinner. He conceded only three runs from the final over of the game last Thursday.
KKR Possible Impact Players Substitute
Suyash Sharma, Anukul Roy, Narayan Jagadeesan, Lockie Ferguson, Kulwant Khejroliya
24 year old left-arm spinner Anukul Roy was used as an impact player in the last game and took 1-26. Narayan Jagadeesan is a powerful batter and has already played in six IPL matches this season.
PUNJAB
Shikhar Dhawan
although the skipper has an excellent IPL record, since coming back from injury in this campaign he is yet to hit a score over 30. He will be keen to contribute in this match.
Liam Livingstone
the English batting all-rounder has bettered his previous score in every game of the tournament and hit 11 boundaries in the last game.
Arshdeep Singh
the left-arm swing bowler conceded 66 runs against Mumbai Indians but still picked up a wicket and is yet to go wicketless in this campaign.
PBKS Possible Impact Players Substitute
Nathan Ellis, Sikandar Raza, Atharva Taide, Mohit Rathee, Shivam Singh
With only three overseas players in the XI, there is an opportunity for the bowler Ellis to be used as the impact player or the all-rounder Sikandar Raza.
