PBKS vs KKR Head to Head Records: The SportsRush presents for you the Head to Head statistics for the 21st match of IPL 2021.

The 21st match of the ongoing 14th season of the Indian Premier League will be played between Punjab Kings and Kolkata Knight Riders in Ahmedabad tonight.

Having won two and lost three IPL 2021 matches till now, Punjab are at the fifth position on the points table as of now. Kolkata, on the other hand, are reeling at the bottom on the back of four losses in their five matches.

In what will be the first match at a venue other than Chennai and Mumbai this season, it will also be the first-ever IPL match at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. It is worth mentioning that the revamped stadium had hosted its first international matches across formats earlier this year.

The last time when Kings and Knight Riders had locked horns against each other was an IPL 2020 league match at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium. Chasing a below par 150-run target, Punjab had registered a comprehensive victory as Mandeep Singh and Chris Gayle had scored individual half-centuries in a match-winning 100-run partnership for the second wicket.

Having said that, KKR should take confidence not just from their overall record against PBKS but also from the fact that they have won four out of their last five matches against them.
