  KKR vs PBKS IPL 2024 Live Score: Punjab Kings opt to bowl

  Sam Curran: We will have a bowl. We had 4 games at home, unfortunately lost all four, guys are ready for the away games though. We know what we need to do from here, just go out and play. Liam Livingstone misses out, Jonny Bairstow is back.

  Shreyas Iyer:  We've had different players stepping up at different times, that's the thing I'm pleased about this season. Starcy got a cut on his finger in the last game, Dushmantha Chameera replaces him. Need a great start and then convert it into a big score, hoping to continue the same form and momentum.

  KKR vs PBKS IPL 2024 Live Score: 

  The average score when batting first at the Eden Gardens this season has been just under 204. The pitches have been conducive to fluent ball-striking, and the short side boundaries have provided additional assistance to the batters. We anticipate a continuation of these conditions, although the tracks may begin to dry out due to the prevailing heat wave in the city.
