KKR vs. LSG at home away from home at Eden Gardens

Match information

Kolkata Knight Riders ( 2nd, W3 L1 ) vs Lucknow Super Giants ( 4th, W3 L2 )
Kolkata, 3.30pm IST ( 10am GMT )

Great picture- KKR's house run

Which IPL team's headquarters is located just six kilometers from Eden Gardens? If you're thinking Kolkata Knight Riders, that's bad.

That glory belongs to District Super Giants, whose users are based in Kolkata. Local KKR viewers divided over who to source for when they play at Eden Gardens, where they have a lot interest and have a solid fan base there.

In that impression, Kolkata is LSG's home away from home, and they have enjoyed a 3- 0 run against KKR. This game has become a conflict worth watching closely for the long run after their previous two triumphs, one run and two runs. Even today, when you consider Gautam Gambhir's mentor's return to KKR in 2022 and 2023, which is LSG's leader, adds a new dimension to the situation.

Off- industry developments away, LSG are in a nice room with their six points in five games. They are still in the best four on the items stand despite losing to the Delhi Capitals on Friday, and they would be pleased with Ayush Badoni and Arshad Khan's coolness, which helped them get off to a 94-7 overall record and reach a final report of 167. Their only real problem is Devdutt Padikkal's variety, he has scored only 25 works in five games.

In their earlier encounter against the Chennai Super Kings in Chennai, KKR lost their first game of the season. But like LSG, KKR are also in a comfortable position, only two factors behind stand- toppers Rajasthan Royals and with a match in hands. They won two of their three ahead games in the first foot of the plan. They are currently based at home for their next five games due to a arranging problem, which means they may have a shot at making the playoffs by the time the playoffs are over.

Team reports and Impact Player method

Vice- captain Nitish Rana ( hand injury ) and seamer Harshit Rana ( shoulder injury ) were spotted in training and could return. Ramandeep Singh may possibly be replaced by Nitish.

If KKR needs works from a No., Suyash Sharma will likely be the affect player, but they could substitute left-arm spinner Anukul Roy. 9.

Likely XII: 1 Phil Salt (wk ), 2 Sunil Narine, 3 Angkrish Raghuvanshi, 4 Venkatesh Iyer, 5 Shreyas Iyer ( capt ), 6 Ramandeep Singh/Nitish Rana, 7 Andre Russell, 8 Rinku Singh, 9 Mitchell Starc, 10 Vaibhav Arora/Harshit Rana, 11 Varun Chakravarthy, 12 Suyash Sharma

Deepak Hooda is already on the chair as a result of his poor form, and Padikkal is on the verge of losing his position. That means, one of Arshin Kulkarni, Yudhvir Singh and Prerak Mankad does sing if LSG want to stay the same outside ensemble. If LSG were to replace Mayank Yadav with a dough from abroad or Naveen la Haq, there might be other creative solutions. Both Mayank ( hip injury ) and Mohsin Khan ( shoulder injury ) are unavailable.

The most likely influence person to replace Quinton de Kock is Spinner M Siddharth.

Probably XII: 1 Quinton de Kock, 2 Melbourne Rahul ( captain, wk ), 3 Devdutt Padikkal/Prerak Mankad, 4 Marcus Stoinis, 5 Nicholas Pooran, 6 Krunal Pandya, 7 Ayush Badoni, 8 Ravi Bishnoi, 9 Arshad Khan, 10 Naveen- la- Haq, 11 Yash Thakur, 12 M Siddharth

Shreyas Iyer and KL Rahul are in the limelight.

Shreyas Iyer has two scores in the 30s but he hasn't been at his fluent best. He has also been dismissed exclusively by left-arm seamers - Mustafizur Rahman, Khaleel Ahmed and T Natarajan - so Arshad could be an early match-up against him. Shreyas could counterattack by dominating spinners from the other end, but historically, he has struggled to put away Ravi Bishnoi and Krunal Pandya in T20s with strike rates of 117.64 and 90.47 respectively.

Strike rates and KL Rahul share a love-hate relationship but he appears to be changing his powerplay approach. In his latest outing, Rahul made 30 off 14 against Capitals. Never before has he scored as many runs in the powerplay as an LSG player. Will he continue in the same vein?

Stats that subject

Mitchell Starc has dismissed Nicholas Pooran half in four pitches. But, Pooran has dominated Andre Russell, hitting him for 105 works in 69 balloons, and Varun Chakravarthy, striking 51 runs in 29 balls. If KKR bat Russell higher? Since the 2018 IPL, his attack rate has not significantly changed. It is 182.2 when entering after the 14th over, and 177.6 when he comes in before the eighth, and 173.3 when he comes in between overs 10 and 14. Bishnoi loves facing KKR. His nine wickets are his highest against any team, and he has a favourable average ( 19.2 ) and economy ( 6.40 ) too.

Ball and problems

Fielding in the first pitches may be agonizing because of the evening start and the forecast for temperatures to reach 35 degrees at the start of the toss. But, throwing could still be the choice as traditional statistics suggest, in addition to the chance of rain in the evening. Believe lots of works.
