- 20:31 (IST)PBKS vs KKR Live: WICKET!Andre Russell provides the first breakthrough to KKR! That is the wicket of Priyansh Arya.

Despite it being an economical over, Punjab Kings' scoring rate is 9.33, which is not at all bad on this surface that is offering help to the bowlers.
- 19:22 (IST)PBKS vs KKR Live: Pitch report here -"The square boundaries are 62m and 64m respectively, while it's 75m straight down the ground. As a spinner it'll be difficult to defend with the smaller boundaries. The pitch looks pretty decent. There are a few bare patches around the good length area with a bit of grass around it. Looks like a pretty dry surface, probably the third game of the season played on this wicket. Scoring runs has been difficult. The mystery spinners will be in action tonight. Need to hit the hard lengths, will be tricky in terms of batting. Scoring runs will be comparatively easier against the pace bowlers," said Matthew Hayden and Graeme Swann while talking about the pitch.
- 19:06 (IST)PBKS vs KKR Live: KKR also playing with two changes!"It's all about playing good cricket, need to chase down whatever the target is. Our bowling has been bowling really well. They have improved a lot. The boys have disappointed with the bat, but need to be brave in this format. Our batting unit needs to do well in this game. We have been playing good cricket in patches. It's all about living in the moment and be positive. Powell comes in for Moeen and Sakariya comes in for Ramandeep," said KKR captain Ajinkya Rahane.
