Punjab Kings Set IPL Record in Win Over KKR

Punjab Kings set an IPL record by defending the lowest total ever, restricting Kolkata Knight Riders to just 95 runs while defending 111, driven by Yuzvendra Chahal's four wickets and crucial late breakthroughs. This win propelled PBKS to fourth place in the IPL 2025 standings and exposed a severe KKR batting collapse after a promising start. Andre Russell's efforts for KKR were not enough to secure victory. Meanwhile, Delhi Capitals are set to play Rajasthan Royals, with both teams seeking a turnaround in form. Pitch conditions at major IPL venues are favoring aggressive batting, especially at night due to dew. The Malaysian Bash 2025 also began, featuring KL Zalmi vs Pak Eagles and upcoming matches like KL Gladiators vs Global Stars.
