The upcoming clash between the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) and the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in IPL 2024 promises to be an exhilarating encounter.
As these two teams prepare to face off at the Ekana Stadium in Lucknow, check into their head-to-head records and analyse their performances so far in the tournament.
Lucknow Super Giants:
LSG’s journey in IPL 2024 has been a mix of highs and lows.
While they have shown flashes of brilliance, particularly in their wins against defending champions Chennai Super Kings, they have also faced defeats, including a loss against KKR in their previous encounter.
Led by KL Rahul, LSG boasts a strong batting lineup, with players like Marcus Stoinis and Deepak Hooda delivering match-winning performances.
However, their bowling department, spearheaded by Mayank Yadav and Ravi Bishnoi, has been inconsistent, posing a challenge for the team.
Kolkata Knight Riders:
KKR has been in fine form in IPL 2024, with Sunil Narine and Phil Salt leading the charge with impressive performances.
Narine has been a key all-rounder for KKR, contributing with both bat and ball, while Salt has been consistent at the top of the order.
However, KKR’s Indian batsmen, including captain Shreyas Iyer, have struggled to make an impact, and the team will be hoping for better performances from them.
In the bowling department, Mitchell Starc and Harshit Rana have been leading the attack, but they will need to step up against a strong LSG batting lineup.
LSG vs KKR Head-to-Head Record:
In their previous encounters, KKR and LSG have met four times, with Lucknow emerging victorious on three occasions, while Kolkata has managed to win only once.
Total – 4
LSG – 3
KKR – 1
