KKR Vs PBKS Prediction: The 19th edition of the Indian Premier League, the world’s most popular franchise cricket league, will be held in 2026. IPL 2026 will feature 10 teams competing for the world’s most prestigious franchise cricket competition trophy.
The Kolkata Knight Riders are three-time IPL champions. They also won their most recent title quite recently, in 2024. However, since their title-winning season, this team’s strategy has been a bit confusing. The Knight Riders march behind Ajinkya Rahane, a veteran of Indian cricket and the IPL, as they look to win the league a fourth time this year
The Kolkata Knight Riders have got off to a poor start to the season. In their first game, they were beaten by the Mumbai Indians. Then, in their most recent game, they were thrashed by the Sunrisers Hyderabad.
Meanwhile, the Punjab Kings are one of the very few teams to have never won the IPL. However, things are on the up, as they reached the final in 2025 after topping the table. With a very similar squad under the captaincy of Shreyas Iyer, the Kings look to climb the mountain for the very first time.
The Punjab Kings have started their IPL 2026 campaign off in style. In their opening game, they comfortably beat the Gujarat Titans. Then, in their second, they chased down a 200+ target against the Chennai Super Kings.

KKR Vs PBKS Match 12 IPL 2026 Eden Gardens Pitch Report
Historically, the pitches at Eden Gardens have been spin-friendly. And after a 2024 where the surfaces here became a lot more batting-friendly, it seems that the tracks at Kolkata have returned to their roots and are spinning a lot more once again. In the matches played here this season so far, spinners have ruled the roost, especially late in any inning. So, the key is to go big in the powerplay and not lose many wickets. The pitches at other stadiums in this tournament suggest that the tracks here will be quite balanced. The square boundaries here are about 66-68m in length, while the straight ones go as far as 78m away from the batter.
