Manish Khorgade brings a wealth of knowledge in cricket and stats to the world of cricket betting. He was hooked on cricket as a 9-year-old back in 1992 during the ODI World Cup. Those iconic semi-finals watched along with his father left an indelible mark on him. He hasn't left cricket since. Or, more appropriately, it's the other way around.
About 13 years into the IT industry, he decided to shift base and follow cricket, wherever it might take him. Manish started with content writing for various publications. He, along with his friends, created GameOfStats - a statistics portal for fantasy sports enthusiasts - helping them create stats-based fantasy teams. He is currently a jack of all things and master of a few on this very portal - cricket-betting.com.
Being a stats expert, he spends time understanding the odds provided by the sportsbooks for various markets. He is astounded by how very little has been done when it comes to using cricket stats in predicting the outcome of an event. He aspires to change that.
Manish loves it when an underdog wins the game. He doesn’t have any favourite cricketers. Only the ones that inspire him more than others. He considers MS Dhoni to be the closest to a perfect sportsman - Brains, Brawn and Nerves. He also thinks Ben Stokes is a superstar and that Ravindra Jadeja should have some fielding drills named after him.
Manish wishes to visit major sports venues across the world. Until then he is busy talking, writing, analyzing, and debating all things cricket.

The 42nd match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) will be played between Kolkata Knight Riders and Punjab Kings on April 26 (Friday). The clash is scheduled to take place at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata and will commence at 7:30 PM IST. The two teams are facing for the first time this season but their fortunes have been contrasting.
KKR are at the second position in the points table with five wins in seven matches so far. PBKS, on the other hand, are at the ninth place in the table with only two wins and six losses in eight matches. They are in a must-win situation at the moment and cannot afford a single loss.
Who will win today’s match? The answer of this question will be given next in the article with analysis of both teams in action:
Kolkata Knight Riders Preview
Kolkata Knight Riders are on a roll at the moment with five wins and two losses in seven matches this season. They are coming off a win over Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) by one run in a thriller and will be aiming to continue in the rich form.
The likes of Sunil Narine, Andre Russell and Philip Salt among others have been the batters in form but the bowling should fall in place especially on flat pitches.
Kolkata Knight Riders - Who Will Be The Best Batter?
Phil Salt was unsold at the auction but has come in as a replacement and played superbly. In seven matches so far, Salt has amassed 249 runs at an average of 41.50 and a strike rate of 169.38 with two half-centuries to his name. Salt has been providing KKR with quick fire starts and will be aiming to do so yet again in this encounter.

| Philip Salt | 8 | 324 | 46.28 | 176.08 |
Betting Tip - Best Batter For Kolkata Knight Riders
Kolkata Knight Riders - Who Will Be The Best Bowler?
Sunil Narine has batted exceptionally well but his bowling quality has nowhere gone down. The mystery with his bowling continues to remain as Narine is the most economical bowler conceding runs at 7.10. He has picked up nine wickets in seven games so far at an average of 22.11 and an average of 18.6. Another decent spell from Narine can pave the way for KKR’s sixth win.

Betting Tip - Best Bowler For Kolkata Knight Riders
Punjab Kings Preview
Punjab Kings can feel hard done by with five of their six losses coming in the last over. But they are also themselves to blame for not stepping up in crunch situations. They lost to Gujarat Titans in the last game but almost defended a below par total of 140-odd runs.
Their big players Liam Livingstone and Jonny Bairstow haven’t clicked at all with the bat this season. Moreover, another loss can more or less end their hopes of making it to the playoffs and for the same reason, they will have to play their best cricket against KKR.
Punjab Kings - Who Will Be The Best Batter?
Shashank Singh isn’t batting at the top of the order but even then, he is the top-scorer for PBKS this season. He has so far scored 195 runs in eight innings and has remained unbeaten on four occasions. His average of 48.75 is the best for the team in IPL 2024 and a strike-rate of 168.10 and is also second best after Ashutosh Sharma.
Top Batter Stats - Recent Matches
| Player | MAT | R | BT. AVG | SR |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Shashank Singh | 9 | 263 | 65.75 | 182.63 |
| Prabhsimran Singh | 10 | 210 | 21 | 162.79 |
Betting Tip - Best Batter For Punjab Kings
Punjab Kings - Who Will Be The Best Bowler?
Sam Curran has been leading the side in the last few games with Shikhar Dhawan injured and the man has certainly tried to lead from the front. He has opened the innings with the bat and also picked up wickets with the ball.
Curran has so far accounted for 11 scalps in 24 overs he has bowled in eight matches. His economy of 8.79 is also decent among other PBKS bowlers and the team will need him to be at his best yet again.

KKR Vs PBKS - Who Will Be The Player Of The Match?
The aforementioned today’s cricket betting tips will certainly assist you in making informed decisions related to match outcomes. As far as the player of the match is concerned, Phil Salt is likely to win it thanks to his blistering form with the bat. The man has scored 249 runs so far at a superb strike-rate and can win the award for his side.
KKR Vs PBKS - Who Will Win Today's Toss?
Our cricket toss prediction for the KKR vs PBKS clash is that the team winning the toss will bowl first. The venue in Kolkata is very good for batting and with dew expected to play its part, teams will obviously prefer chasing as even 200 is not a safe score.
KKR Vs PBKS Venue, Pitch and Weather Report
Eden Gardens in Kolkata has hosted four matches so far in IPL 2024. In the last two matches played at the venue, Rajasthan Royals chased down 224 runs while RCB just fell one run short of the 223-run target which makes it clear that the surface offers nothing for the bowlers.
Cricket odds will be certainly be in favour of KKR due to their form while the temperature will remain around 35 Degrees Celsius during the match with no chance of rain.
KKR Vs PBKS Match Winner Prediction
Given their form and the number of match winners they possess in the side, KKR are expected to win this match against Punjab Kings. PBKS have been faltering massively at crunch moments and might fall short yet again against a stronger unit like KKR in this encounter.
