Preview

Punjab Kings (PBKS) will take on Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in the 31st match of the IPL 2025. This match will be played at Maharaja Yadavindra Singh Stadium in Mullanpur. 74 matches will be played across 13 cities over the next two months as the IPL fever kicks off. Qualifier 1 and the Eliminator will be played in Hyderabad on May 20 and 21, respectively. Qualifier 2, on May 23, and the final on May 25, will be in Kolkata.

Punjab Kings are sixth in the points table with three wins and two losses in five matches. They lost to Sunrisers Hyderabad in the previous match despite scoing 245 runs and will be keen to bounce back. They will be playing at home and look to take advantage of these conditions.
