Punjab Kings (PBKS)<\/strong> will face off against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR)<\/strong> in Match 31 of the IPL 2025<\/strong><\/a> at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium in Chandigarh. Both teams will be eager to secure a vital win as the tournament progresses.<\/p>\n Punjab Kings have been inconsistent this season, with three wins and two losses in their last five matches. Their batting lineup has been explosive, with Shreyas Iyer<\/strong> leading from the front. Iyer has been in stellar form, supported by power-hitters like Glenn Maxwell<\/strong> and Marcus Stoinis<\/strong>. However, Maxwell\u2019s recent struggles with consistency remain a concern. PBKS\u2019 bowling unit, led by Arshdeep Singh<\/strong> and Yuzvendra Chahal<\/strong>, has shown promise but has also been prone to leaking runs under pressure. Marco Jansen<\/strong> and Lockie Ferguson<\/strong> add variety to their attack, while all-rounders like Stoinis provide balance.<\/p>\n The defending champions KKR have had a mixed campaign so far but are coming off a dominant win against Chennai Super Kings. Sunil Narine<\/strong> was the star of that match, contributing both with bat and ball. Ajinkya Rahane<\/strong>\u2019s leadership has been steady, while Andre Russell<\/strong> remains their X-factor. KKR\u2019s bowling attack boast firepower with Anrich Nortje<\/strong> and Varun Chakravarthy<\/strong> leading the charge. The spin duo of Narine and Chakravarthy could be pivotal on the Chandigarh pitch, which often assists spinners.<\/p>\n Matches played: 33 |\u00a0PBKS won: 12 |\u00a0KKR won: 21<\/p>\n The Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium in Chandigarh is known for its challenging conditions that often result in low-scoring T20 matches. The pitch has recently demonstrated a tendency to favor slower bowlers, particularly wrist spinners and off-spinners, making spin bowling a decisive factor in games played here. Batters will need to employ a calculated approach, emphasizing solid technique and strategic shot selection to effectively counter the spin-friendly surface.<\/p>\n Lockie Ferguson, Yuzvendra Chahal,\u00a0Shashank Singh<\/a><\/strong>, Marcus Stoinis<\/p>\n Also READ: IPL 2025 \u2013 Fans go crazy as MS Dhoni and Shivam Dube steer CSK to victory over LSG<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Punjab Kings:<\/strong>\u00a0Priyansh Arya, Prabhsimran Singh (wk), Shreyas Iyer (c), Shashank Singh, Marcus Stoinis, Glenn Maxwell, Suryansh Shedge, Marco Jansen, Lockie Ferguson, Yuzvendra Chahal, Arshdeep Singh, Nehal Wadhera, Praveen Dubey, Vijaykumar Vyshak, Vishnu Vinod, Harpreet Brar, Josh Inglis, Xavier Bartlett, Yash Thakur, Aaron Hardie, Azmatullah Omarzai, Kuldeep Sen, Harnoor Singh, Musheer Khan, Pyla Avinash<\/p>\n Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR)<\/strong>: Rinku Singh, Quinton de Kock, Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Angkrish Raghuvanshi, Venkatesh Iyer, Ramandeep Singh, Andre Russell, Anrich Nortje, Harshit Rana, Sunil Narine, Varun Chakravarthy, Vaibhav Arora, Mayank Markhande, Rovman Powell, Manish Pandey, Spencer Johnson, Luvnith Sisodia, Ajinkya Rahane, Anukul Roy, Moeen Ali, Umran Malik.<\/p>\nPBKS vs KKR Head-to-Head record<\/strong><\/h2>\n
