The Punjab-based franchise is coming into this match after conceding a 3-wicket loss against Rajasthan Royals (RR). Currently, PBKS are standing in the eighth place of the standings with four points at a net run rate of -0.218
A batting masterclass by Jos Buttler guided RR to a thrilling last-ball win against the two-time champions as they successfully chased off the 224 runs set by KKR at the Eden Gardens
RCB bowlers conceded 287 runs and could take only three wickets against SRH. SRH produced the highest total in IPL history and broke their record of scoring 277 against the Mumbai Indians (MI)
KKR is in the second spot, with four wins and a loss in five matches. It gives them a total of eight points. LSG is in the fifth spot with three wins and three losses, giving them six points
At 94/7 there was every chance of LSG being bowled out inside 20 overs, but Badoni stitched a 73-run stand with Arshad Khan, taking LSG to a competitive total
The 138-run partnership between Narine and Salt was the 8th 100-plus opening stand for KKR in the IPL and the first since 105 between Narine and Lynn against RCB in Bengaluru back in 2017
