Indian T20 League 2022: Kolkata vs Punjab Fantasy Cricket Match-Ups

By Parameswaran Sankaranarayanan March 31, 2022

Kolkata, who suffered mixed fortunes in their first two games, meet Punjab in match eight of the Indian T20 League 2022. After winning their opening game in the tournament, the two-time winners suffered a narrow defeat at the hands of Bangalore on Wednesday. On the other hand, Punjab made a brilliant start to the new season. Mayank Agarwal's men chased down 206 with six balls left thanks to a quickfire half-century stand between Odean Smith and Shahrukh Khan for the sixth wicket.

We look at some of the most exciting First Games fantasy cricket Match-Ups in the Kolkata-Punjab match.

S Dhawan vs S Iyer

Two former teammates square off in an interesting Match-up on Friday. Shikhar Dhawan made an excellent 43 against Bangalore and is 173 runs away from reaching 6000 runs in the Indian T20 League. Shreyas Iyer had a forgettable outing against Bangalore but is likely to bounce back and outscore his ex-Delhi teammate.

B Rajapaksa vs V Iyer

Bhanuka Rajapaksa excelled on his Indian T20 League debut, scoring 43 runs from just 22 balls. The Sri Lankan will give a tough challenge for Venkatesh Iyer, who struggled in both games. However, the Indore-born all-rounder could regain last season's form and make big fantasy points at Wankhede Stadium.

Arshdeep S vs V Chakaravarthy

A thrilling Match-Up is on the cards as Punjab's Arshdeep Singh takes on Kolkata's Varun Chakaravarthy. Arshdeep grabbed 29 fantasy points against Bangalore, while Varun made 72 fantasy points from the first two matches. The mystery spinner could triumph over the young pacer.

R Chahar vs S Narine

Both Rahul Chahar and Sunil Narine have been impressive this season. The 22-year-old gave away only 22 runs and claimed a wicket in the high-scoring Punjab-Bangalore match. Meanwhile, the West Indian spinner played a cameo knock and registered figures of 4-0-12-1 against Bangalore. Narine could grab more fantasy points than Chahar in the Indian T20 League match eight.
