The Kolkata Knight Riders vs Punjab Kings IPL 2025 clash at Eden Gardens ended in disappointment as rain forced an abandonment. Before the heavens opened, PBKS piled up an imposing 201/4 thanks to a sparkling Prabhsimran Singh 83 (49) and a blistering Priyansh Arya 69 (35). KKR reached 7/0 in 1 over when the rain returned and never really relented.
Key Moments
- PBKS powerplay assault set the tone; 60+ inside six with clean striking down the ground.
- Middle-overs consolidation from Prabhsimran; acceleration at the death lifted them past 200.
- KKR’s chase barely began (7/0, 1 ov) before persistent rain forced officials to call it off.
Result & Points Table Impact
The match was abandoned with both teams sharing a point each — a result that could weigh heavily in a tight playoff race. Net Run Rate remains unaffected by a washout, but momentum clearly swung PBKS’s way after their batting show.
Fantasy & Betting Notes
- Top-order PBKS batters continue to offer high upside on flat wickets.
- Weather checks are crucial — late showers can nullify strong positions in live markets.
- For exchange users, pre-rain hedges around par-score milestones remain a smart safeguard.
