Rain played a spoilsport at Eden Gardens, cutting short Kolkata Knight Riders' run chase after just one wicket and seven runs, forcing the match to end in a no-result. With each team awarded a point, Punjab Kings moved up to fourth place on the IPL 2025 table with 11 points from nine games, while KKR slipped to seventh with seven points.

Earlier, young sensations Priyansh Arya and Prabhsimran Singh lit up the Eden Gardens with a batting masterclass, powering Punjab Kings to an imposing 201 for 4. Their breathtaking 120-run opening stand set the tone for a commanding performance against the hosts.
