CRICKET
KKR vs PBKS: Match 8 of IPL 2022 season will take place between Kolkata Knight Riders and Punjab Kings at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.
KKR vs PBKS will be the latest chapter in this enticing rivalry between Kolkata Knight Riders and Punjab Kings as the two sides square off at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Friday. In Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 so far, Shreyas Iyer-led KKR have won one game, and have lost the other.
On the other hand, Mayank Agarwal-led PBKS have won their tournament opener against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and will be hoping to keep the momentum going against KKR.
It was KKR who broke PBKS hearts back in 2014, as the Knights won the IPL season that year when Punjab reached the final for the first time. So far, in 29 games between the two sides, KKR have emerged victorious on 19 occasions, while PBKS have registered wins in the remaining 10 games.
According to Accuweather, the temperature of Mumbai city on April 1 (Friday) will be about 30° Celcius and humidity will be around 74%.
Dew will start to fall early, as seen before in Wankhede, but there are no chances of rain. The weather will be hot and humid, but the skies will be clear.
The surfaces in Mumbai should aid run-scoring as has been the case traditionally, so we can expect a high-scoring encounter. While Delhi Capitals successfully chased down a total of 180 earlier at this venue, Gujarat Titans also chased down a total of 160 in their respective match.
The average score at Wankhede Stadium for the team batting 1st is around 194, while for the team batting 2nd, the average score drops to nearly 184.
