Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) will lock horns with Punjab Kings (PBKS) at the Eden Gardens on Friday at 7:30 PM IST.
Barring Mitchell Starc, everyone is chipping in for the Knight Riders with the ball, while Punjab Kings’ bowlers have been bowling decently throughout the competition. Meanwhile, in this post, we will try to predict the top three bowlers who will pick the most wickets in today’s KKR vs PBKS IPL match.
Sunil Narine is weaving his old magic with the ball this season. The West Indian has already picked 9 wickets in 7 matches at a strike rate of 18.60. Narine likes to bowl against Punjab Kings as he has bagged 33 wickets in 24 matches against the Mohali-based franchise. The off-spinner will be looking to add more wickets to his tally tonight.
Harshal Patel has been the Punjab Kings’ best bowler this season with 13 wickets in 8 games at an outstanding strike rate of 13.30. He is bowling the vital death overs for the Kings from Punjab and he has been using his variations cleverly to outfox the batters. The slowishness in the Eden Gardens’ surface will suit Harshal Patel’s bowling and the right-arm medium-pacer could trouble the KKR’s batters.
Amid the presence of the superstars in the team, Harshit Rana’s performances this season have gone under the radar. The right-arm pacer has bagged 9 wickets in 6 games so far at a brilliant strike rate of 13.30. He has been bowling with an attacking mindset and going for the wickets. Punjab Kings’ batting has been struggling badly at the moment and Harshit Rana can nip out their top-order with the new cherry inside the powerplay.
