Lucknow Super Giants have been a top team so far ib the tournament and they will look to seal things as they further move. They will look to play their brand of cricket.

LSG are currently second in the points table after 10 games with 14 points. They have four games left for them.

Lucknow’s core has been both their batting in-depth and bowling with precision. We can expect them to be stronger moving further.

LSG have so far won against, CSK, SRH, DC (2), MI (2) & PBKS. They have lost to GT, RR & RCB.

On the other hand, Kolkata Knight Riders have not been up to the mark with their performances and can be said similar to a Mumbai or Chennai.

KKR are currently eighth in the points table after 10 games with 8 points.

Kolkata have questions in terms of their opening in the batting department. They though have some middle-order respite. As for their bowling they need to be consistent as well.

KKR have so far won against, CSK, PBKS, MI & RR. They have lost to RCB, DC (2), SRH, RR & GT.

In terms of the head to head, this is the first ever meeting between the two sides. A great occasion for fans to look forward to.

As for the wicket, the batsman should be aided with good bowlers reaping rewards too.
