KKR vs PBKS | IPL T20 Match 45 | 01-10-2021 19:30|1|1| Preview & Stats Added | After-Toss Team Added

• Nitish Rana top scored with an unbeaten 36 from 27 balls in Tuesday’s win over Delhi Capitals. Rana averages 39.85 for KKR this season and is a strong bet for their highest run scorer in this game. Sunil Narine has been in excellent form with the ball and has picked up 5 wickets in his last two games. He is our tip for KKR’s top wicket taker against Punjab Kings.
• KL Rahul made only 21 in Tuesday’s defeat to Mumbai Indians but he is still comfortably Punjab Kings’ highest run scorer in the tournament. He is our recommendation for their leading run scorer in this clash. With the ball, Ravi Bishnoi has been enjoying the conditions in the UAE and has returned figures of 3-24 and 2-25 in his last two matches. Bishnoi is well worth backing as Punjab Kings’ top wicket taker against KKR.
• Sunil Narine is our tip for the Player of The Match Award. He is a true all-rounder and contributed a 10-ball 21 before picking up 2 wickets against a strong Delhi Capitals side.

A small amount of cloud cover with a high of 32 degrees during this game.

🏟️ Pitch:
There has been a wide range of scores in Dubai in this leg of the tournament but overall it has been the pace bowlers who have enjoyed the surface the most.

 Toss Prediction: 

Punjab Kings elected to field first in their last game in Dubai. KKR are sometimes tempted to bat first but we are predicting Eoin Morgan to choose to field if he wins the toss.

 Team News: 

 KKR Team News: 

All-rounder Andre Russell missed the win over Delhi Capitals on Tuesday due to a hamstring injury and it is unlikely that he will be risked in this game. Tim Southee, who came in to replace Russell, is expected to retain his place. A win for KKR will keep them right in the hunt for a play-off spot.

 Player Form Sheet: 

 Kolkata Knight Riders: 

News just in: Tim Seifert of New Zealand will be making his KKR debut today. That’s very interesting. If he comes in for an Ferguson or Southee, then the Knight Riders will look to replace an Indian batter – Rana/Tripathi/Iyer and add an Indian seamer like Mavi, Nagarkoti or Prasidh Krishna into the XI.

It is the same surface that we played two nights ago and it looks magnificent. The ground staff have done a terrific job, nice grass covering and the surface is very hard. Three times the team batting first have won, three times the team bowling first have won. The average score is 159, there are no demons and the batters can trust this surface. From a bowling point of view, you have to get your length right, reckon Simon Doull and Kevin Pietersen, in their pitch report.
