Match Prediction – KKR vs PBKS, 8th Match IPL 2022 – Who Will Win Today’s Match?
Kolkata Knight Riders will take on Punjab Kings in the eighth match of IPL 2022 at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. Both Punjab Kings and Kolkata Knight Riders kicked off their IPL 2022 campaigns with a win and will be hoping to continue the momentum.
Kolkata Knight Riders exacted revenge on Chennai Super Kings following their loss to them in the final of IPL 2021. KKR bowled extremely well and demolish CSK in the powerplay. Although MS Dhoni scored a half-century to take the team to a more respectable score, it didn’t prove to be enough. CSK could only manage 131/5 in their 20 overs.
The run-chase was led by new KKR batter Ajinkya Rahane who scored 44 off 34 deliveries and showed a wide range of strokes. Sam Billings, Nitish Rana and Shreyas Iyer also propped up with important contributions with the bat as the two-time winners got to the target with six wickets in hand.
Punjab Kings, meanwhile, managed to overcome Royal Challengers Bangalore in a thrilling clash that saw both sides scoring over 200. New RCB captain Faf du Plessis wreaked havoc and ended up scoring 88 runs. Virat Kohli and Dinesh Karthik also batted extremely well to help RCB cross the 200-run mark.
The PBKS run-chase was led by Shikhar Dhawan and Mayank Agarwal who both played fine knocks before Bhanuka Rajapaksa took over. The Sri Lankan batter slammed 43 off just 22 deliveries and Odean Smith smacked 25 off eight balls to secure a fantastic win for Punjab Kings.
Kolkata Knight Riders have a significant advantage in head-to-head record between the two teams. Of the 29 matches played, KKR have won 19 games while PBKS have been victorious on only 10 occasions.

Game changers for Kolkata Knight Riders vs Punjab Kings, 8
th
Match IPL 2022
Kolkata Knight Riders, meanwhile, will have to make do without the services of Aaron Finch and Pat Cummins. Both the Australian players are currently in Pakistan and will not be available for the first five matches of IPL 2022. This could pose a significant problem for the franchise. Shreyas Iyer has been in excellent form with the bat and the likes of Sunil Narine and Varun Chakravarthy have bowled really well.
Punjab Kings will depend heavily on their openers Mayank Agarwal and Shikhar Dhawan who are expected to form a phenomenal partnership. They aren’t short of explosive hitters in the middle orders and have a fabulous fast bowler in Kagiso Rabada. Rahul Chahar is expected to lead the spin department.
Who will be the best match bowler?
Kagiso Rabada will be returning after missing the first match due to the mandatory three-day quarantine period. Rabada has collected 70 wickets in his last three IPL seasons and is a wonderful bowler who knows how to get breakthroughs.
Who will win today’s man of the match?
Shreyas Iyer, Andre Russell, and Sunil Narine are expected to be the contenders for the man of the match award from the KKR camp. For PBKS, Shikhar Dhawan, Mayank Agarwal, Odean Smith and Kagiso Rabada are expected to be in the running.
Who will be the best batsman for Kolkata Knight Riders?
Shreyas Iyer hasn’t been dismissed in his last four T20 matches. The right-hander has been in the form of his life over the last couple of months and he also saw KKR getting past the finishing line in the first match. Iyer will be expected to score big runs here.
Who will be the best batsman for Punjab Kings?
Shikhar Dhawan was one of the best acquisitions for Punjab Kings in this year’s mega auction. Dhawan has been a consistent run-scorer who guarantees almost 500 runs every season. Dhawan got off to a great start in the previous match and scored 43 off just 29 deliveries.
