IPL 2026: KKR vs PBKS playing 11, live toss and match time, streaming

In the 12th match of IPL 2026, Kolkata Knight Riders are facing Punjab Kings today at Eden Gardens in Kolkata. KKR struggled in their previous outing, suffering a 65-run defeat against Sunrisers Hyderabad, marking their second consecutive loss of the season. KKR skipper Ajinka Rahane won the toss for the match and invited Shreyas Iyer-led PBKS to bowl first.  Batting first, SRH posted a formidable 226, and KKR’s chase never really got going. Angkrish Raghuvanshi top-scored with 52 off 29 balls, supported by Rinku Singh’s 35, but the rest of the lineup faltered as KKR were dismissed for 161. In the bowling department, Blessing Muzarabani impressed with 4/41, while Vaibhav Arora picked up two wickets.

 

 

Punjab Kings, in contrast, come into the match on a high after a 5-wicket victory over Chennai Super Kings. Defending 210, CSK were chased down in 18.4 overs, thanks to solid contributions from Prabhsimran Singh (43), Shreyas Iyer (50), and Priyansh Arya (39 off 11). Vijaykumar Vyshak’s 2/38, along with wickets from Yuzvendra Chahal, Xavier Bartlett, and Marco Jansen, ensured PBKS restricted CSK effectively.

 

Both teams will look to carry momentum and strengthen their positions in IPL 2026.
