KKR vs LSG Head to Head, Playing XI, Preview, Where to Watch on TV, Online, and Live Streaming Details

The Kolkata Knight Riders will be locking horns with the Lucknow Super Giants in Match 66 of IPL 2022 at the Dr. DY Patil Sports Academy in Navi Mumbai on May 18. Both teams will be heading into this contest on the back of contrasting results in their respective previous encounters as the playoff race heats up in the business end of the league stages.

KKR have been on a roll with emphatic wins over the Mumbai Indians and Sunrisers Hyderabad. They had decimated SRH by 54 runs in the last game in order to keep their playoff hopes alive and the qualification is still possible provided the two-time champions win their remaining fixtures by big margins.

LSG, on the other hand, have lost their momentum with defeats to Gujarat Titans and Rajasthan Royals. However, they are still in the safe zone with eight wins and 16 points with a superior NRR. LSG’s last victory had come against KKR by a whopping 75 runs in the reverse fixture and they would be hoping to regain their confidence by doing the double over them.

Pitch and conditions

The teams prefer chasing in evening games, taking the dew factor into consideration. Nevertheless, the case could be different in this scenario as the wicket at DY Patil could wear out as the contest progresses. Therefore, the captain that calls it right at the toss would have absolutely no second thoughts about having a bat.

Playing combinations for KKR vs LSG

Kolkata Knight Riders

The Kolkata Knight Riders will have to make a forced change after a Grade-III hamstring injury ruled Ajinkya Rahane out of the tournament. Therefore, the team management could either rope Baba Indrajith or Sheldon Jackson to open the innings along with Venkatesh Iyer. Aaron Finch might not be considered for this crucial tie.

Predicted XI: Venkatesh Iyer, Baba Indrajith/Sheldon Jackson, Nitish Rana, Shreyas Iyer(c), Sam Billings(w), Rinku Singh, Andre Russell, Sunil Narine, Umesh Yadav, Tim Southee, Varun Chakravarthy

Lucknow Super Giants

As the Lucknow Super Giants desperately look to get back to winning ways, they would possibly make just one change in their overseas lineup as they might bench underfire Marcus Stoinis and include Evin Lewis to bolster their middle-order.

Predicted XI: Quinton de Kock(w), KL Rahul(c), Deepak Hooda, Krunal Pandya, Ayush Badoni/Manish Pandey, Marcus Stoinis/Evin Lewis, Jason Holder, Mohsin Khan, Ravi Bishnoi, Dushmantha Chameera, Avesh Khan
