PUN vs KOL Prediction, 11Wickets Fantasy Cricket Tips: Playing XI, Pitch Report & Injury Update – Indian T20 League 2021, Match 21

Preview:

The strangest part of Kolkata’s campaign in this years Indian T20 League is that they looked like a title contender in the first match against Hyderabad, but ever since then, they have looked like a side who deserve to be in the bottom place of the points table.

Kolkata have won four games in a row, and things are not looking bright for them, as there are no standout performers from their team as well. Doom and gloom was pretty much prevalent in the Punjab camp as well, but after their win against Mumbai, things are looking on the up.
