PBKS vs KKR Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium Pitch Report:
If we take into consideration the matches played at this venue in IPL 2025, the team that wins the toss in the Punjab vs Kolkata match will look to bat first, put runs on the board, and transfer the pressure on the opposition.
Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium has hosted 7 IPL games so far, and the team batting first has won four of those matches, whereas the team that has batted second has won three matches, which makes it hard to decide whether to bat first or bowl first after winning the toss
Having said that team that wins the toss in the game will look to bowl first, taking into account the role that dew might play in the upcoming game, which will be played at night.
The ground is decent in size with big square boundaries. As a result, batters look to hit straight and try to target the straight boundaries, which are relatively small. The first match of IPL 2025, played at this venue between PBKS and RR, saw Rajasthan post a total of 205 runs
PBKS scored 219 runs against CSK in the last match in Mullanpur, courtesy of an attacking century from the bat of Priyansh Arya, who is playing in his first IPL season and will be in action against KKR.
The match against KKR is an opportunity for PBKS to make a strong comeback after losing to SRH, prevent the defending champions KKR from winning back-to-back games, and consolidate their position in the top four.
A lot will depend on how the bowline lineup of both teams performs. If the bowlers can restrict the opposition to a score of 180, then both PBKS and KKR will fancy their chances of winning the game
Conclusion
For PBKS, the match against KKR is a chance to clinch their fifth win in the Punjab vs Kolkata game and gain much-needed momentum for the later stages of the tournament.
Like PBKS, KKR will also hope to earn consecutive wins, having registered a thumping win over CSK in the last match by putting on a strong performance in the match.
