Sun Apr 27 18:30:00 UTC 2025: ## IPL 2025 Match Between KKR and PBKS Abandoned Due to Rain
**Kolkata, India** – The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 match between Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and Punjab Kings (PBKS) at Eden Gardens was abandoned due to heavy rain on Saturday. The match, which had promised a thrilling contest, ended prematurely after just one over of KKR’s innings.
PBKS, electing to bat first, posted a challenging 201/4 in their allotted 20 overs. Prabhsimran Singh (83 runs off 49 balls) and Priyansh Arya (69 runs off 35 balls) starred with a 120-run opening partnership. KKR’s bowlers struggled to contain the PBKS onslaught, with Vaibhav Arora, Varun Chakravarthy, and Andre Russell managing one wicket each.
However, KKR’s response was cut short. After scoring 7 runs without loss in the first over, heavy rain and thunderstorms forced officials to abandon the match. Both teams were awarded one point each.
The washout leaves KKR with 7 points from 9 matches. Their playoff hopes now hinge on winning at least four of their remaining five games. While five wins would guarantee qualification, four wins would depend on net run rate and the results of other teams.
