Things didn’t improve much in their next match against Sunrisers Hyderabad, where their bowling attack again struggled against strong top-order batting. According to our KKR vs LSG Dream11 prediction, players like Cameron Green haven’t been consistent, and their death bowling has been a concern, even though batters like Ajinkya Rahane and Angkrish Raghuvanshi have shown some positive signs.
On the other hand, LSG have looked better after a slow start. They lost their opening game to the Delhi Capitals. But they made a strong comeback in their next match against Sunrisers Hyderabad, winning a close game courtesy of an important innings from captain Rishabh Pant in the final overs.
