The IPL 2026 match between the Kolkata Knight Riders and the Punjab Kings at Eden Gardens looks slightly in favour of Punjab based on current form. KKR have struggled so far, losing their early matches and looking weak in bowling, while PBKS have started strong with back-to-back wins and better overall balance in both batting and bowling.

Even though Kolkata Knight Riders have a better record at this venue and in head-to-head matches, PBKS come in with winning momentum. The pitch is likely to help batters and chasing teams, which suits PBKS. Based on current form and team strength, the Punjab Kings are more likely to win today’s match unless KKR produce a much-improved performance.
