At the iconic Eden Gardens in Kolkata, the hosts KKR will take on PBKS in the match 53 of the Indian Premier League 2023. Kolkata Knight Riders will be playing this fixture on the back of a very important win against SRH in Hyderabad. Meanwhile, Punjab Kings lost their previous encounter at home against Mumbai Indians as they failed to defend a total in excess of 210. Both Knight Riders and Kings haven’t had the best of IPL so far this season, that’s why a win in their upcoming game is necessary for either of the teams to stay in contention for the playoffs.
