KKR vs LSG Team Previews
Kolkata Knight Riders
The Knight Riders will go into this fixture in second position on the 10-team points table. They started their campaign with three successive wins before falling to defeat against the Chennai Super Kings. Almost a week has gone by since that defeat, so Kolkata have had plenty of time to prepare to bounce back.
Sunil Narine, Andre Russell and Phil Salt have been KKR's leading run-scorers this IPL season. Narine has again been somewhat of a revelation at the top of the order, pinch-hitting his way to 161 runs in four innings at a strike rate of almost 190. This world-class all-rounder has also taken four wickets in the 2024 IPL.
Russell is also a huge asset with bat and ball for Kolkata. He is the team's second-highest run-scorer and joint-highest wicket-taker this season. Russell and local talents Harshit Rana and Vaibhav Arora each have five wickets in this year's tournament. All three are worth backing to do well again.
Kolkata Knight Riders Playing 11
Philip Salt, Venkatesh Iyer, Shreyas Iyer, Sunil Narine, Angkrish Raghuvanshi, Andre Russell, Ramandeep Singh, Harshit Rana, Mitchell Starc, Vaibhav Arora, Varun Chakravarthy.
Lucknow Super Giants
Lucknow have three consecutive wins flanked by a defeat on either side this season. Their most recent result was a loss against the Delhi Capitals. They have a quick turnaround time between that loss and this fixture against a highly motivated Kolkata unit.
Nicholas Pooran, KL Rahul and Quinton de Kock have been outstanding for the bat for the Super Giants this season. Each have 160-plus runs and have provided plenty of impetus through the opening powerplay, middle and death overs. Rahul's captain looks to be improving with every match, too.
Yash Thakur and Mayank Yadav have impressed through this season's IPL, sharing 13 wickets. They are among the country's brightest seam-bowling prospects. Yadav is effectively and outright pace ace, but has been sidelined by injury. It is anticipated he will return for this match.
Lucknow Super Giants Playing 11
Lokesh Rahul, Quinton de Kock, Deepak Hooda, Ayush Badoni, Marcus Stoinis, Nicholas Pooran, Krunal Pandya, Ravi Bishnoi, Shamar Joseph, Yash Thakur, Mohsin Khan.

Bonus Cricket Bets
Narine's last three innings have been 27, 85 and 47. He has been in fine form and will have another opportunity to score freely during the opening powerplay.
Russell is one of KKR's top wicket-takers this season. He is in a good position to succeed again.
Kolkata have a 50 percent chance of winning the toss. Bet on the home side to win the toss. If they do, they might elect to bat first.
De Kock's 2024 IPL campaign so far includes back-to-back half-centuries. He is striking the ball well and looks in good touch. Look forward to another big performance from the South African star.
Thakur took a five-wicket haul against the Gujarat Titans recently. That five-for typified how good this 25-year-old right-arm seamer is. Bet on him to do well again.
