PBKS vs KOL Dream11 Tips for Match 21 IPL Today Match Prediction 26 April

Punjab Kings vs Kolkata Knight Riders Dream11: Yesterday’s doubleheader marked the end of Chennai -Mumbai leg in the ongoing edition of the IPL as the matches will now be played at Ahmedabad and Delhi. The first IPL match at Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad will be played between Kolkata Knight Riders and Punjab Kings tonight.

Both teams are sitting in the second half of the points table and will be looking to climb up the ladder. With just one win in five games, Kolkata Knight Riders are placed at the bottom of the spot. They started off the campaign with a win over SRH but have suffered four successive defeats since then. They will be hoping for some change in the fortune with the change in venue.

Punjab Kings, on the other hand, seems to be a bit relaxed than KKR as they are coming after securing 9 wickets thumping win over defending champions Mumbai Indians in the previous encounter. In five games, Punjab Kings have two wins and three defeats and will be hoping to find the right combination and momentum early at Ahmedabad as they will be playing their next four games at this venue only.

Moreover, it will be interesting to watch who adapts to this change in the venue and condition and manages to take an edge. The clash will begin at 07:30 PM IST.
