KOL vs PBKS, IPL 2021
Punjab and Kolkata face off in Match 45 of the Indian T20 League. As the playoff race tightens, each game becomes more crucial not only for the teams competing but also for the teams watching from the stands. Kolkata has made a strong start in the UAE phase of the competition. Kolkata lost to Chennai, but a thrashing of Bangalore and victories over Delhi and Mumbai have kept them in contention for a playoff position. Their winning formula has been simple: limit the opposition to a low score and then easily hunt it down. Sunil Narine, Lockie Ferguson, and others.
Eoin Morgan’s form is still a concern, although Dinesh Karthik and Nitish Rana have shown signs of returning to form. Due to an injury, Andre Russell was unable to play in the previous game against Delhi, and Kolkata will be hoping for a swift recovery. Coming back to Punjab, the road to the playoffs is a difficult one for them. They’ll need not only to win all of their games but also for some of the other outcomes to go their way. They haven’t had the best season, and their return to the UAE leg has been disastrous. They have lost all of their games since the restart, with the exception of the game against Hyderabad.
They are overly dependent on KL. At the top of the order, Rahul and Mayank Agarwal must score runs and bat through the innings. Aiden Markram has performed admirably, but Nicholas Pooran and Deepak Hooda need to step up their game. The massive Chris Gayle has struggled with the blade in the past, and they’d like to see that change soon. Overall, Kolkata is the better team, they are in good form, and they have a higher chance of winning this game. However, as we have seen many times in this League, no game is won until the final ball is bowled, and no team is out until the final game is completed.
Venue of IPL 2021, 45th match, KOL vs PBKS
The Dubai International Cricket Stadium, originally known as the Dubai Sports City Cricket Stadium, is one of Dubai’s three cricket venues. With a capacity of 25,000, this stadium might be considered Pakistan’s chosen home ground. Unlike other stadiums, this one features a round roof. In April 2009, this facility hosted its maiden One-Day International (ODI) match between Pakistan and Australia. Many more matches have taken place here, notably the famous England collapse to spin, which culminated in a 10-wicket loss to Pakistan. It’s a well-equipped stadium with a unique feature: the “Ring of Fire” floodlights.
