IPL 2025 will pit Punjab Kings (PBKS) against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in the 31st match of the season. PBKS will host the Knight Riders at their home in Mullanpur.
Both teams are tied at six points and are right in the middle of the points table. Thus, they would like to get out of the middle muddle.
KKR have the momentum on their side after choking CSK with their spin in the last match. PBKS, meanwhile, couldn’t defend 245 runs against SRH. On top of that, PBKS’ record in Mullanpur isn’t great.
So it will be interesting to see how PBKS will tackle KKR’s spin challenge.
That said, here’s Mullapur’s pitch and weather report for the PBKS vs KKR match in IPL 2025.
