In the 12th match of IPL 2026, Kolkata Knight Riders will face Punjab Kings. KKR struggled in their previous outing, suffering a 65-run defeat against Sunrisers Hyderabad, marking their second consecutive loss of the season. Batting first, SRH posted a formidable 226, and KKR’s chase never really got going. Angkrish Raghuvanshi top-scored with 52 off 29 balls, supported by Rinku Singh’s 35, but the rest of the lineup faltered as KKR were dismissed for 161. In the bowling department, Blessing Muzarabani impressed with 4/41, while Vaibhav Arora picked up two wickets.
Punjab Kings, in contrast, come into the match on a high after a 5-wicket victory over Chennai Super Kings. Defending 210, CSK were chased down in 18.4 overs, thanks to solid contributions from Prabhsimran Singh (43), Shreyas Iyer (50), and Priyansh Arya (39 off 11). Vijaykumar Vyshak’s 2/38, along with wickets from Yuzvendra Chahal, Xavier Bartlett, and Marco Jansen, ensured PBKS restricted CSK effectively.
