KKR vs PBKS IPL 2021 Live Streaming: When and where to watch on TV and online

Kolkata Knight Riders take on Punjab Kings in the 45th match of IPL 2021 at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium. KKR have come out firing on all cylinders in the second leg of IPL 2021. They have won three out of their four games and occupy the fourth position with 10 points. However, they can’t afford to take it easy as every match is crucial. In their last match, the bowlers again did a brilliant job and restricted a formidable Delhi Capitals batting side to 127/9. They did stutter in the chase and were at one point 67/4 and 96/5 but a brisk 10-ball 21 from Sunil Narine and a composed 27-ball 36 from Nitish Rana helped them past the finish line. While the bowlers have aced the middle overs, the batting needs improvement. Eoin Morgan has had a tough tournament so far and averaged just 11.88. Shubman Gill has played with freedom in the second leg but needs to carry on and get a big score. There will be expectations from Dinesh Karthik as well who averaged 26.83. PBKS, on the other hand, will be more desperate to get some points on the board as they are sixth in the table with eight points. Their middle and lower middle order has let them down. Chris Gayle hasn’t fired, so has Nicholas Pooran. Gayle averages 21.44 while Pooran just 7.77. Their opening pair of KL Rahul and Mayank Agarwal has done most of the scoring. The latter missed out in the last match against MI with a stiff neck and PBKS will be hoping that he is fit for this match. Their batsmen will face a stiff challenge against the KKR spin duo of Varun Chakaravarthy and Sunil Narine. They will need to find a way to score against Lockie Ferguson as well who’s been brilliant so far. KL Rahul managed just 21 in the last match against MI and would be looking to go big against KKR. He will be their key player in the batting department along with Ravi Bishnoi in the bowling department. The middle and lower middle order will need to step up and support him. It’s a crucial match for PBKS and they would be looking to go all out in order to get those important two points to stay in the hunt for the play-offs. While KKR would be looking to maintain the momentum and stay ahead with two points and a better run run-rate. Expect a cracker.
