IPL 2026, KKR vs PBKS Today Match: Rain disrupted Match 12 of the Indian Premier League 2026 between Kolkata Knight Riders and Punjab Kings at Eden Gardens on Monday, April 6, 2026. Play was halted in the first innings with Kolkata at 25 for 2 in 3.4 overs after opting to bat. With covers still on the field and players off the ground, match officials are monitoring conditions before deciding on resumption.

Under IPL regulations, if a match is completely washed out without any play, both teams are awarded one point each.

If play has started but cannot be completed, officials attempt to resume the match by reducing overs. In such cases, the Duckworth-Lewis-Stern (DLS) method is used to revise targets if the second innings is affected.

However, a minimum of five overs per side in the second innings is required for a result. If that threshold is not met due to persistent rain, the match is abandoned and both teams share one point.

With the interruption occurring early in the first innings, there remains a window for a shortened contest if conditions improve. Otherwise, the match could be called off, leaving both teams with a point each.

Officials are expected to wait for improvements in weather before making a final call.
