The Eoin Morgan side will be riding on the winning momentum when they step on the ground. KL Rahul-led Punjab Kings come into this match with the defeat against the Mumbai Indians. For them, the batting has been the biggest disappointment and they need to shore up their options in the middle order.
PBKS bowling, have served them well as Arshdeep Singh, Mohammed Shami & Nathan Ellis have been fine with the ball while Harpreet Brar and Ravi Bishnoi have been decent.
KKR, on the other hand, also seem to have all their bases covered as far as spinners are concerned. Sunil Narine and Varun Chakravarthy have controlled the pace beautifully in the middle overs.
