Why Punjab Kings & Kolkata Knight Riders Keep going down in IPL 2022
Hi Friends, welcome to our today's review of the matches involving Punjab Kings(PBKS) and Kolkata Knight Riders(KKR) with their opponents. Both the teams lost their matches to Rajasthan Royals and Lucknow Super Giants respectively. However, while PBKS can hold their head with a little bit of pride, KKR should definitely hang their heads in shame, suffering a 70 run defeat and going back on their Net Run rate. For PBKS, the setback was expected once they failed to cross 200 runs. From the way they started, it looked like they would cross over 210 runs at least. That would have been a good score on this track. However, with some later order hitting they managed 189 runs. This too was not enough as proved by the Royals. The Royals, for their part should have closed the match sooner, but managed in 19.4 runs. A defeat would have been too tough to taste for the Royals. Definitely, PBKS have been going downhill from halfway through the tournament and may not make the cut for the last 4 is what we feel. Similarly, KKR after starting the IPL with a bang are still in the lowering rung of the points table with only 4 wins. By suffering such a humiliating defeat, they also don't look like making the cut. Their only hope from the looks of it is to remain above Mumbai Indians and CSK. Any team that suffers such a humiliating defeat cannot hope to emerge into the last four. As far as KKR is concerned, that is our verdict. Lets wait and see!
