Kolkata is all set to host the KKR vs LSG IPL 2025 match 21 on Tuesday, April 8. The match starts at 3.30 pm IST with the Knight Riders having an advantage playing at home. They won at home in their last match against SRH and would like to win back-to-back games at Eden Gardens.
Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) are playing away from home. So far in four games, they have won two games and lost two games. Both KKR and LSG are yet to win back-to-back games in this edition of the IPL.
KKR is placed fifth on the IPL 2025 points table heading into this game. LSG, on the other hand, is placed sixth. A win for either of these two teams will leave them in the third position on the points table. From that perspective, this is a crucial game for both teams.
