Rain is threatening to disrupt the IPL match between Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and Punjab Kings (PBKS) scheduled for March 6, 2026, at Eden Gardens, Kolkata. With rain showers predicted, the match could be curtailed, echoing last season's encounter that ended prematurely due to weather. KKR, currently winless and struggling for momentum, faces added pressure as they prepare for this crucial fixture. The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) has warned of severe weather conditions, including Kalbaishakhi storms, which may bring hail and thunderstorms to the region from Sunday through Thursday. The forecast indicates that rainfall intensity will peak on Tuesday and Wednesday, further complicating the match situation. Both teams were unable to hold their practice sessions due to heavy rain, leaving the pitch conditions uncertain. For the match to be valid, at least five overs must be completed, which can only happen if play begins by 10:56 PM. If rain persists, the match may be called off, leading to both teams receiving one point each. KKR's previous season was similarly marred by rain disruptions, affecting their playoff chances.
