Set to unfold at the iconic Eden Gardens, the high-stakes clash pits two sides that have found their feet after early wobbles and are now eyeing consistency.
After a lukewarm start to their campaign, KKR roared back to form in style with a resounding 80-run win over Sunrisers Hyderabad. The victory was built on a complete team performance that saw both batting and bowling units rise to the occasion.
On a pitch that offered variable bounce, senior pro Ajinkya Rahane and promising youngster Angkrish Raghuvanshi anchored the innings with calm heads before Venkatesh Iyer brought the fireworks. His explosive 60 off 29 balls, alongside Rinku Singh라이브 바카라 unbeaten 32 off 17, took the hosts to a formidable 200/5.
Defending the total, Vaibhav Arora struck early with a lively spell of 3/29, while Varun Chakravarthy showcased his guile with another three-wicket haul to wrap up SRH for just 120. It was a performance that sent a strong message — the Knight Riders are slowly but surely hitting their stride.
Lucknow Super Giants, on the other hand, head into this contest after a narrow 12-run win over the Mumbai Indians. With two wins and two losses so far, LSG have been inconsistent, but signs of promise are there. Mitchell Marsh라이브 바카라 explosive 60 and Aiden Markram라이브 바카라 composed 53 in the last game suggested that the top order is finally coming together.
However, skipper Rishabh Pant라이브 바카라 lean patch with the bat remains a concern for the visitors. While the team continues to back their captain, they’ll hope for a turnaround in fortunes sooner rather than later.
One of the standout performers for LSG this season has been young pacer Digvesh Singh Rathi. With six wickets in four games and an impressive economy rate of 7.62, he has emerged as a reliable option in the middle overs.
