KKR vs PBKS Match Preview
On Friday, the 8th match of the IPL 2022 will pit Kolkata Knight Riders against Punjab Kings. The Kolkata Knight Riders struggled with the bat in their recent game against the Royal Challengers Bangalore, losing by three wickets in the final over. Bowlers performed admirably in both matches and deserve to be recognized for their efforts. Shreyas Iyer made good use of his bowlers, and it would be intriguing to see how he manages pressure in the future matches.
Punjab Kings, on the other hand, blew away the Royal Challengers Bangalore in their first match, winning by five wickets with an over remaining. The powerful hitting of Shahrukh Khan and Odean Smith ultimately won the game for them. There is no doubt that they have batting depth, but they need to focus more on their bowling.
