IPL 2025 points table, Orange Cap, Purple Cap: Punjab Kings Mumbai get a place at the cost of Indians

Rain on Saturday played SpiilSport as an IPL match of Kolkata Knight Riders after the visiting team posted for 4 for 4 for 4 in Kolkata. Prabhasimran Singh and Priyash Arya slam the half-serimeter to lay a solid opening foundation, but KKR pulled back things on death as Punjab Kings had posted 201 for 4 after PBK batted. In response, KKR was no harm in an over, when suddenly a sudden thunderstorm around 9.35 pm, flying the rubble on the ground and even the cover was blown into the stand. The ground staff quickly covered the pitch, but after the tireless rains, there was no scope for the play to start again.

After waiting for about 90 minutes, the match was officially closed at 10.58 am, after there was no late-up in the season.

As a result, both teams shared one point.

KKR now has seven points from nine matches to finish seventh, while Punjab Kings went for 11 points from nine matches.

Earlier, In-Form Arya, who scored an IPL century against Chennai Super Kings, continued her dream debut season with fifty with a classy 27 balls.

Leading Run -Slikers –

He, with veteran Prabhasimran, gave PBKS a bang with an early stand of 120 runs in just 11.5 overs.

Arya was early aggressive, crafting a fluent 69 in 35 balls (8x4s, 4x6s), while Prabasimran transferred the gear after Arya’s dismissal, finishing with a sparkling 83 with 83 in 49 delivery (6x4s, 6x6s).

From 34 balls from a tenture 32, Prabhasimran exploded his next 17 balls by 49 runs.

Although the pace after Prabasimron’s departure decreased, KKR scored only 40 runs and took two wickets in the last five overs, a phase that could leave PBK by 20–30 runs.

Vaibhav Arora (2/34) was a pick of KKR bowlers, who was dismissing Prabasimran with a full toss.

Andre Russell, who broke the initial stand by removing Arya in the 12th over, ended with 1/27 from three well -organized overs.

Varun Chakraborty (1/39) and Sunil Narin (0/35) also played an important role in slowing the scoring rate in the second half.

Leading wickets –

In full flow, Prabhasimran first attacked Chakravarti, broke it for 4-6–4 in the 19-run over because PBK was set for more than 230 clans.

Between 10 and 15 overs, he scored 71 runs and the run rate went in the last 11 runs per over.

This proved to be a good toss for Punjab Kings to win, who made Meera on a batting heaven, in which the ball was well-known against the low-on-confidence KKR side.

Unlike the previous matches, where the pitch slowed down, Saturday’s strip was perfect for batting, and Arya captured with his array of his elegant stroke.

He showed intentions from the beginning, cracking a cover drive from Arora and later rejected a stunning six on a third man from a wide yorker of Harshit Rana.

The 23 -year -old Delhi batsman looked full of maturity, dominating KKR’s attack and attacked with Flair, while Prabhasimran once well started to launch at a slow launch.

Despite adding Chetan Sakaria and Rowman Powell to their lineup and employing the seven bouler strategy, KKR once again fought to mastered the positions of his home at the Eden Gardens.
