KKR vs PBKS, LSG vs DC: IPL prediction for today’s match 2 and 3
Punjab Kings would feel that they hold the edge over Kolkata, given that KKR hold a depleted look without their first-choice skipper out, and two in-form foreign players – Shakib and Litton – currently unavailable.
In the second game, it could be a closer tussle, with both teams carrying a sturdy mix of foreign and local players. Delhi’s bowling currently lacks a bit of punch, but their explosive batting might just see them through.
