PBKS lost their previous encounter against Sunrisers Hyderabad by eight wickets. It was a thrilling game as SRH batters chased down 246 runs. However, PBKS have won three out of five games and have a good chance of qualification.

Meanwhile, Kolkata won their last game against the Chennai Super Kings at the M.A. Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai. Their bowlers, especially the spinners, were excellent at their job, restricting the hosts to 103/9 at the end of 20 overs. KKR made Chennai look clueless, as they first faced 61 dot balls and later, it took exactly the same number of balls for the visiting side to chase down the 104-run target.
