Info: 

• KL Rahul has scored over 400 runs in this tournament and the skipper is our pick for Lucknow Super Giants’ highest run scorer in this game. Yash Thakur has taken ten wickets in the 2024 IPL and the pace bowler is well worth backing as Lucknow Super Giants’ top wicket taker against KKR.
• Phil Salt is averaging 44.11 in this competition and the English opener is our tip for KKR’s highest run scorer against Lucknow Super Giants. Mitchell Starc has endured a tough campaign but took 4/33 on Friday and the Australian is a strong choice for KKR’s top wicket taker in this match.
• With his confidence likely to be sky-high ahead of this game, we recommend selecting Mitchell Starc to take over 1.5 wickets in this fixture.

Toss Predictions: 

This will be the 14th IPL match to be played at this venue and so far teams batting first have won six as have teams fielding first. With the temperature expected to drop by five degrees from the first innings to the second innings, we predict that both captains will want to bat first..

Weather & Pitch Report: 

Weather: ⛅

It will be very hot at the beginning of this game with the temperature likely to be up in the high thirties. And by the end of the match, the forecast is for the temperature to be no lower than 33..

Pitch Report:

The surface in Lucknow is often a little bit two-paced which means that high scores are the exception. The last game saw 289 runs in total and we expect a first innings par total to be no higher than 160-165..

Team NEWS: 

LSG Team News: 

After taking great care to not rush him back too early, Mayank Yadav was unable to complete his fourth over in the last match and it is believed that he has suffered an abdominal muscle tear which is expected to keep him out for the remainder of the IPL 2024 season..

KKR Team News: 

Shreyas Iyer was in a very positive mood on Friday post-game after seeing his side win without playing at their best. With a quick turnaround of only two days before this match on Sunday, we are not expecting to see wholesale changes to the XI.

Winning Chances: 

With both teams winning three of their last four, we can expect to see two teams full of confidence take the field in this match. They could well meet again in the play-offs later in the tournament so there are opportunities to put down a marker on Sunday evening. Our prediction is for a very competitive match but we are backing Kolkata Knight Riders, who have played to a slightly higher standard so far, to win this game.

Kolkata Knight Riders to beat Lucknow Super Giants

Lucknow Super Giants a 67% chance to win this match 

Kolkata Knight Riders a 33% chance to win this match 

Key Players: 

Lucknow Super Giants 

KL Rahul 

the opener hit three fours and a six in the last game and is clearly playing a more attacking role this year. He produces consistent scores year in year out.

Marcus Stoinis 

the Australian all-rounder hit 62 runs from 45 balls against Mumbai Indians and he has now taken a wicket in all three of his last appearances in Lucknow.

Ravi Bishnoi 

the spinner came into the attack and got the big wicket of Ishan Kishan in the last match. He bowls with good control and variation.

Yash Thakur 

the 25 year old right-arm fast medium bowler should be well rested after missing the last game and he has been Lucknow’s most impressive bowler so far this season.

LSG Possible Impact Player Substitutes 

M Siddharth, K Gowtham, Yudhvir Singh, Prerak Mankad, Mohsin Khan 

Mayank Yadav was brought into the team for the fielding innings against Mumbai Indians but then picked up an injury. We expect Mohsin Khan to take on his role in this match.

Kolkata Knight Riders 

Phil Salt 

the English keeper-batter has had an excellent tournament so far and will be keen to produce something in this match after being dismissed fourth ball on Friday.

Venkatesh Iyer 

the 29 year old left-hander took the Player of the Match Award in the last game after rescuing his side with 70 runs from 52 balls.

Mitchell Starc 

the left-arm pace bowler showed how dangerous a bowler he can be against Mumbai Indians when he dismissed Ishan Kishan in his first over before finishing the game with three wickets in the 19th over.

Varun Chakravarthy 

the off-spinner took the second and fourth wickets on Friday. He produced an impressive display to finish with 2/22 from his four overs.

KKR Possible Impact Player Substitutes 

Anukul Roy, Manish Pandey, Srikar Bharat, Sherfane Rutherfod, Chetan Sakariya 

Manish Pandey was thrust into the action after only 6.1 overs as the Impact Player in the last game and delivered with the bat. If a pace bowling option is required in this game than someone like Chetan Sakariya would be a strong candidate.

Team Forms: 

LSG Team Form: 

Lucknow Super Giants come into this match in strong form after winning three of their last four games.

KKR Team Form: 

Kolkata Knight Riders have won their last two games and three of their last four in this IPL.
