The eighth match of the Indian Commercial League (IPL) starts today at 6:30 a.m. Afghanistan time, in which the Kolkata Knight Riders will face the Punjab Kings.
The Punjab Kings have won one match in the current league, but the Kolkata Knight Riders have played two more, winning the first match and losing the second.
But the good news for the Afghans is that Andrew Russell was injured in the last game and if he does not recover until today’s game, then it is very likely that Mohammad Nabi will be given a chance in today’s game, or Also shine Cronartney can be taken in the game.
