Xavier Bartlett provided Punjab Kings with an exceptional start in their IPL 2026 match against Kolkata Knight Riders at Eden Gardens on April 6. The fast bowler quickly dismissed key batsmen Finn Allen and Cameron Green in the second over, putting KKR under immediate pressure.
Following Bartlett's impressive spell, rain interrupted the match. At the time play was stopped, the home team, Kolkata Knight Riders, had scored 25 runs for the loss of two wickets in 3.4 overs.
This encounter sees Punjab Kings seeking their fourth successive victory of the season, having previously defeated Gujarat Titans and Chennai Super Kings. In contrast, the Knight Riders are still searching for their first win after losses to Mumbai Indians and Sunrisers Hyderabad earlier.
