KKR vs LSG Match Preview
After a disappointing outing against the Chennai Super Kings in their previous encounter, the Shreyas Iyer-led Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) will be desperate to bounce back and reclaim their position at the top of the table. With home advantage on their side, KKR will undoubtedly fancy their chances of emerging victorious against the formidable LSG outfit.
On the other hand, the KL Rahul-captained Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) suffered a setback against the Delhi Capitals in their last game, despite winning their three previous matches. However, the team boasts a potent batting line-up and will be looking to bounce back strongly in this crucial encounter.
KKR and LSG have clashed thrice in the tournament’s history, with LSG emerging victorious on all three occasions. However, the last two meetings have been incredibly close, with LSG winning by narrow margins of 2 runs and 1 run, respectively.
For KKR, we recommend selecting Rinku Singh, Shreyas Iyer, and Sunil Narine as our batting choices. Singh, despite struggling in the previous game, has an exceptional T20 record with 2443 runs at an average of 35.92 and a strike rate of 148.15. Narine has impressed in his opening role, consistently providing blistering starts.
For LSG, KL Rahul, Nicholas Pooran, and Ayush Badoni are our batting recommendations. Rahul, one of the most consistent batters in the IPL, averages 42.04 from 204 T20 innings. Pooran, despite a golden duck against Delhi Capitals, had an impressive start to the tournament with three unbeaten innings.
Our bowling tips for KKR include Vaibhav Arora, Andre Russell, and Mitchell Starc. Arora has been a revelation, picking up five wickets in just two matches with a strike rate of 9.60. Russell brings the experience of 486 T20 matches and boasts best T20 bowling figures of 5/15.
For LSG, we are backing Ravi Bishnoi, Yash Thakur, and Naveen-ul-Haq with the ball. Afghan pacer Naveen has been impressive, while Bishnoi’s variations and flight have troubled many batters.
KKR vs LSG Head To Head Records
In the three previous head-to-head matches between KKR and LSG in the IPL, LSG holds a commanding 3-0 lead. While LSG has managed to defend scores in all three encounters, the last two matches have been nail-biting affairs.
- KKR are currently placed second in the points table with 6 points from four matches.
- LSG, on the other hand, are fourth with 6 points from five games.

Eden Gardens Stadium Pitch Report
The iconic Eden Gardens pitch is expected to provide some assistance to the bowlers, especially during the initial overs when the ball is new and hard. However, as the match progresses, the surface is likely to become more batting-friendly, with a par score of around 200.
Historically, 59% of IPL matches at this venue have been won by the team fielding first, although the last two games were narrowly won by the team batting first. Our prediction is that both teams will aim to chase on this surface.
