The IPL 2025 clash between Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and Punjab Kings (PBKS) at Eden Gardens ended in a no result due to persistent rain on Friday night. With both teams sharing one point each, PBKS have now overtaken Mumbai Indians on the points table.
Punjab Kings posted a strong total of 201/4 in their 20 overs before rain halted play after just one over of KKR’s innings. With no possibility of a five-over contest before the cut-off time, officials were forced to call off the match, awarding one point to each team.
As a result, Punjab Kings have climbed to fifth place with 11 points, moving ahead of Mumbai Indians, who remain on 10 points.
