Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) will cross swords with Punjab Kings (PBKS) in match 12 of the Indian Premier League 2026 at the Eden Gardens on Monday, April 6, 2026.
KKR are tottering at the 9th spot in the points after losing both their initial matches, while PBKS are sitting comfortably at the 4th with wins in their first two encounters.
KKR started their campaign with a six-wicket loss against the Mumbai Indians (MI) at their den. While their batting clicked in that match and posted a mammoth 221-run target against MI, their bowling let them down as the hosts went on to chase the target easily.
In their second match against SRH, again their bowling let them down as they let the opponent score a massive 226 runs on a slow track and ended up getting bundled out for 161 in response in just 16 overs, thus losing the match by a whopping 65 runs.
On the other hand, defending champions, PBKS, have started their season and have been able to win both their matches without breaking a sweat. The leadership of Shreyas Iyer and the coaching of Ponting have turned things dramatically for PBKS.
Last year they reached the final, and this year too they have started well by winning their first two matches and are on course to have another great season.
