The IPL match between Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and Punjab Kings (PBKS) was interrupted by rain, with KKR struggling at 25 for 2 in 3.4 overs. Australian pacer Xavier Bartlett made an impact by taking two wickets in quick succession, dismissing KKR's star players Finn Allen and Cameron Green, who has had a disappointing season so far. The rain led to frustration among the 29,358 spectators present, many of whom left the stadium as thunderstorms intensified. If the match is ultimately washed out, both teams will share the points, granting KKR their first point of the season. The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) has indicated that rain is likely to continue, potentially affecting KKR's upcoming matches, including their next home game against Lucknow Super Giants. The weather forecast suggests that thunderstorms with winds of 50-60 kmph may occur, further complicating the match schedule.
