KKR and LSG Overall Statistics

KKR vs LSG Pitch & Weather Report

KKR vs LSG Pitch Report

The pitch at Eden Gardens will favor batters, as seen in previous matches. The pitch tends to favor batters more in both innings, but in the second inning, it only slightly helps bowlers. According to the pitch's overall statistics, teams that bat first have scored an average of 180 runs. So, after winning the toss, it is advisable to field first and then chase the target, as dew is expected to play an important role in the second inning. And, as previous statistics show, teams batting second enjoyed more success than teams batting first on the same pitch.

Weather Condition

The weather in Kolkata is expected to be around 34°C on match day with cloudy skies, and rain is also expected, but it is unlikely to interrupt the match because it will most likely rain before the match and not during match hours.

Record of chasing teams at the Eden Gardens

Eden Gardens has hosted 95 IPL matches to date, with fielding teams winning the most and batting teams struggling to perform well. According to statistics, out of 95 matches played here, the team that fielded first won 56, or approximately 58%, while the team that batted first won only 39. So, it was clear that after winning the toss, fielding first was a viable option to perform better at this venue, and it could be a key to success in this league.

KKR vs LSG Predicted Playing XI

KKR’s Probable Playing XI

Quinton de Kock (wk), Sunil Narine, Ajinkya Rahane ©, Venkatesh Iyer, Rinku Singh, Ramandeep Singh, Moeen Ali, Andre Russell, Harshit Rana, Varun Chakaravarthy, Vaibhav Arora.

KKR's overall team combination appears to be very stable, particularly their batting lineup; they have depth in the batting lineup up to number nine, as well as an in-form bowling attack, so we expect them to play with the same playing XI in the next match.

LSG Probable Playing XI

Mitchell Marsh, Aiden Markram, Nicholas Pooran, Rishabh Pant ©/(wk), David Miller, Ayush Badoni, Abdul Samad, Shardul Thakur, Ravi Bishnoi, Avesh Khan, and Digvesh Singh.

Lucknow Super Giants showed a dominating performance in the previous match against MI, where their batters played an important role because they have so much firepower in the batting, and as compared to earlier, their bowling unit is also looking more stable, so they will most likely go with the same team combination against KKR.
