The KKR and Lucknow Super Giants teams are set to face off in a crucial IPL match today. This season hasn’t been a good one for either team so far, but despite this, both have opened their accounts. The match will be played at Eden Gardens in Kolkata today, which will be played in the evening. Before that, let’s try to understand which team might win today’s match. Although rain is forecast during this time, the match still seems highly likely.
LSG won their last match, Pant scored a brilliant half-century
Today, in the IPL, a match will be played between the Lucknow Super Giants, captained by Rishabh Pant, and the Kolkata Knight Riders, captained by Ajinkya Rahane. Although the Lucknow team lost the first match, they bounced back in the second match to defeat Sunrisers Hyderabad. Captain Rishabh Pant played a major role in this victory, scoring an unbeaten 68 runs. Mohammed Shami deserves mention, as he dismissed two batsmen for just nine runs.
KKR looking for their first win, got one point from the abandoned match
Meanwhile, if we talk about KKR, or Kolkata Knight Riders, the team is still searching for its first win. First, they were defeated by Mumbai Indians and then by Sunrisers Hyderabad. Their last match against Punjab Kings was abandoned due to rain, otherwise it seemed the team would lose this match as well. The team’s confidence is low and needs a reinvigoration.
LSG has the upper hand in today’s match
Talking about the head-to-head record between KKR and LSG, the two have played six matches so far. KKR has won two of these matches, and LSG has won four. Here too, LSG has the upper hand. Thus, it seems that LSG could still win today. It remains to be seen whether KKR will be able to win their first match of the year on their home ground. LSG’s chances of winning are between 51 and 55 percent.
