Punjab Kings vs Kolkata Knight Riders Match Scorecard: Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) delivered a stunning bowling performance to skittle out Punjab Kings (PBKS) for just 111 runs in 15.3 overs at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium, Mohali, in Match 31 of IPL 2025. With this demolition job, KKR took firm control of the game and nearly sealed the win before even picking up the bat.
After winning the toss, PBKS captain Shreyas Iyer opted to bat first, hoping for a strong total. However, the decision backfired as KKR’s bowling attack, led by Harshit Rana (3/25) and Varun Chakaravarthy (2/21), dismantled the batting order.
Fast Start, Sudden Collapse
PBKS had a promising start with Prabhsimran Singh blazing 30 runs off just 15 balls and Priyansh Arya scoring 22 from 12 deliveries. But once both fell to Harshit Rana, the collapse began. Captain Shreyas Iyer managed just a 2-ball duck, and Australian keeper Josh Inglis was cleaned up for 2.
The middle order offered little resistance. Glenn Maxwell (7), Nehal Wadhera (10), and Suryansh Shedge (4) failed to build partnerships. The only other double-digit contribution came from Shashank Singh, who scored 18 before being trapped LBW by Vaibhav Arora.
