KKR vs PBKS Prediction - Apr 01, 2022

The Kolkata Knight Riders were brought down to earth by the Royal Challengers Bangalore in their previous match and now face the Punjab Kings in this next match. It was impressive to see the Punjab Kings smash the RCB bowling to all parts of the ground. Is IPL 2022 their year or will they struggle to maintain consistency?

All of the leading IPL betting sites have the Punjab Kings as the favorites to win this match. Let us have a look at the available team news and potential matchups to find some good betting opportunities.

Match prediction and IPL betting tips for KKR vs PBKS IPL 2022. The match is going to be played at the Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai on the 1st of April 2022.

KKR vs PBKS Team Previews

Kolkata Knight Riders

KKR went hard against RCB in its previous match and ended up losing a few too many wickets. However, that approach seems to be the one that the team is committed to and we do not see any throttling back in this next match. If anything, Ajinkya Rahane and Venkatesh Iyer may be told to get more of a move on in the powerplay overs.

The batting lineup for KKR looked out of sorts in the previous match. Venkatesh Iyer could have a few questions over facing the short ball, Ajinkya Rahane is playing out of his comfort zone, and Nitish Rana has so far failed to get going.

There will be a lot of pressure on Sam Billings and Shreyas Iyer especially if Andre Russell is not fit to take the field for this match. We would pick one out of Billings or Iyer for the Top Batsman KKR betting market.

Umesh Yadav has been brilliant with the new ball so far making an early impact on both the matches he has played. The extra bounce and movement that he has got with the new ball make him very dangerous. Tim Southee should keep his place in the playing eleven while Sunil Narine and Varun Chakravarthy are also dependable on most days.

The problem for KKR seems to be that the dew makes their spinners less effective than they would like. Also, if Russell is not there then their replacement has to be someone who bowls. Chamika Karunaratne could be the possible replacement since he bowls and can also hit a long ball.

Venkatesh Iyer, Ajinkya Rahane, Shreyas Iyer, Nitish Rana, Andre Russell, SP Narine, Sam Billings, Shivam Mavi, Umesh Yadav, TG Southee, Varun Chakravarthy.


Punjab Kings

The Punjab Kings would have been thrilled to get off to a winning start as they chased down 205 with one over to spare. The team played only three overseas players in the previous match and now with Kagiso Rabada available for selection, we expect them to play four. Sandeep Sharma is the player likely to miss out unless the Punjab Kings decide to go in with one spinner.

The batting lineup for the Punjab Kings is stacked. Mayank Aggarwal and Shikhar Dhawan form an excellent opening pair while Bhanuka Rajapaksa showed his T20 class in the previous match. With Liam Livingstone, Shahrukh Khan, and Odean Smith in the lineup, there is no shortage of six-hitting prowess in this lineup.

Raj Bawa may not have bowled a ball or scored a run in the previous match but he is a dangerous all-rounder that we expect to shine sooner rather than later.

The bowling lineup will be boosted tremendously by having Kagiso Rabada available. He is one of the best IPL bowlers in recent history and will love the bounce that the Wankhede will offer. He is our pick for the Top Bowler Punjab Kings betting market.

KKR vs PBKS Toss Prediction

The team that wins the toss is going to want to bowl first. All but one match so far has been won by the team batting second and so even if you followed this simple betting strategy, you would have won five out of six so far!

Read our guide on toss predictions to learn how we analyze and come up with our tips.

Pitch and Conditions

The conditions in Mumbai are excellent for cricket. The weather is a bit humid but there is no rain expected. The pitch is going to be excellent for batting with a good amount of bounce and carry. Chasing is a massive advantage as the dew makes the ball come on better and also makes it difficult for the bowlers to grip the ball.

A score of around 190-200 could be on the cards batting first.

KKR vs PBKS Betting Tips

We are going to bet on the Punjab Kings to win. Both teams have an ultra-aggressive approach to matches, just as current T20 standards dictate, but we think the Punjab Kings have more ammunition to carry out that strategy successfully. Their bowling is going to be strengthened by the addition of Kagiso Rabada while KKr may have to adjust to not having Andre Russell.

Bet on the Punjab Kings to win.

    Liam Livingstone Total Runs

    Over 22.5 (1.83)

    Visit

One of the cleanest strikers in the game, we think Liam Livingstone is at the peak of his game. He is someone who has underperformed in the IPL so far and that is why his Over/Under line is so favorable.

    Total Sixes in the Match

This has been an IPL for hitting sixes so far. All but one match so far has seen more than 13.5 sixes hit and we are going to bet on the same happening in this match as well.

    To Hit A Six

    Mayank Aggarwal (1.80)

    Visit

Mayank Aggarwal is a very clean striker of the ball who is not afraid of clearing the boundaries. He is being offered at a more competitive rate than the others for this betting market. We think that is something you can take advantage of.
