The Punjab Kings (PBKS) will lock horns with the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in the 31st game of the IPL 2025.

In this article, we are analyzing the PBKS vs KKR Dream11 Prediction, Dream11 Team Today, Fantasy Cricket Tips, Playing 11s, Pitch Report, Injury Update, and Expert Advice for Match 31 of the IPL 2025.

The fixture will take place on April 15, 2025 (Tuesday evening) at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium in Mullanpur, Chandigarh.

For the first two games, Punjab started like an express train, but they seem to be losing the fuel a little fuel. Lockie Ferguson’s injury will be a blow to the side, while Marco Jansen has struggled with the new ball partnership with Arshdeep Singh.

Kolkata is coming off a clinical performance against the Chennai Super Kings. They were excellent in the game thanks to the spin web of 12 overs. But on a flat surface, they may look to use Anrich Nortje’s pace to get the desired bounce.

For the Knight Riders, the issue has been around Quinton de Kock’s form. Even in a 104-run chase in the last game, he couldn’t stay till the end and ended with another start, which he failed to convert into a big score.
