The Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) vs Punjab Kings (PBKS) IPL 2026 game was washed out on Monday (April 6). Here’s how the points table stacks up after the two teams share points.
Rain allowed just 3.4 overs of action in KKR vs PBKS, Match 12
KKR captain Ajinkya Rahane won the toss and opted to bat first, even with the weather forecast predicting the possibility of rain. The rain did arrive, just 3.4 overs into the first innings, with the home side in a spot of bother at 25-2, having lost both Finn Allen and Cameron Green.
Xavier Bartlett got both the wickets in the second over and conceded just nine runs in the 10 deliveries that he bowled. Arshdeep Singh, meanwhile, bowled two overs for 16 runs. But persistent showers prevented the game from restarting, and the two teams were awarded a point each.
