KKR vs LSG Match Preview
Kolkata Knight Riders are playing at their home venue. They have had an indifferent start to their IPL 2025 season after winning the title last year. They lost just three games in the overall season last year. This year, they have already lost two out of their first four games. The combination they played against SRH is the perfect combination for the team going forward. Playing Moeen Ali ahead of Spencer Johnson gives KKR the batting depth and another spin option as well that is required for them, especially in home games. This being an afternoon game, the side must play with the same combination, as the dry pitch will assist the spinners more than the pacers.

Lucknow Super Giants, under Rishabh Pant, have flourished in the games that they have won so far. They registered dominant victories over SRH and Mumbai Indians. However, against Delhi Capitals, they could not defend 209 runs, and against Punjab Kings, they put up a below-par score. The side is yet to find consistency in their game, and Rishabh Pant's batting form is a huge concern for the side.
KKR vs LSG Head To Head
KKR and LSG have faced each other in 5 matches in IPL. Out of these 5 games, KKR has won 2, whereas LSG has won three matches. The Knight Riders defeated the Super Giants twice last year.
