Kolkata Knight Riders will lock horns with Punjab Kings in the 12th game of IPL 2026. KKR’s campaign has stumbled, with back-to-back losses leaving them desperate for a turnaround.
SRH set a challenging target of 226, and KKR’s chase never got on track. Angkrish Raghuvanshi led the way with a brisk 52 from 29 balls, supported by Rinku Singh’s 35, but the rest of the order failed to deliver, as KKR were restricted to 161. Blessing Muzarabani shone with figures of 4/41, complemented by Vaibhav Arora’s two wickets.
Punjab Kings enter this clash brimming with confidence after a 5-wicket win over Chennai Super Kings. Chasing 211, they reached the target in 18.4 overs, powered by Prabhsimran Singh’s 43, Shreyas Iyer’s 50, and a blistering 39 off 11 balls from Priyansh Arya. Vijaykumar Vyshak (2/38), along with Yuzvendra Chahal, Xavier Bartlett, and Marco Jansen, played key roles in keeping CSK under check.
