The Indian Premier League 2025 is heating up fast, and tonight’s match is a big one. Punjab Kings (PBKS) take on Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in Match 31, and there’s plenty to look forward to—from Dream11 fantasy picks to possible match-winners. The game will be played at the Maharaja Yadavindra International Stadium in Chandigarh on Tuesday evening.
Let’s dive into what you need to know if you’re setting your Dream11 lineup or just catching the action.
Quick Match Overview
- Match: Punjab Kings vs Kolkata Knight Riders, Match 31
- Date: April 15, 2025 (Tuesday)
- Time: 7:30 PM IST
- Venue: Maharaja Yadavindra International Stadium, Chandigarh
PBKS vs KKR Head-to-Head Record
KKR have the upper hand in this rivalry with 21 wins out of 33 matches. PBKS have managed to win just 12, so history definitely leans toward Kolkata.
Weather & Pitch Report – What to Expect
- Weather: No rain interruptions. Expect a warm evening (around 32°C) with 50%+ humidity.
- Pitch: It’s a batting paradise. Both games here so far have seen teams scoring over 200. Batting first is the smarter call—spinners and pacers might struggle once the ball gets older.
PBKS vs KKR Dream11 Prediction – Who Has the Edge?
KKR are coming into this one flying high after a dominant win over CSK. Their batting clicked, and their confidence is sky-high. Meanwhile, PBKS are still licking their wounds after a demoralizing loss to SRH, where their bowlers leaked runs like a broken tap.
Given the form, KKR look like the stronger side, especially if their top order fires again.
