KKR vs LSG Match Prediction- Who Will Win Today’s IPL Match Between Kolkata Knight Riders and Lucknow Super Giants, IPL 2023, Match 68

The upcoming game is possibly one of the most important games in the tournament. Both sides need a win, and both sides need to win big. KKR, despite winning can only get to 14. They will need Mumbai and Bangalore to lose their subsequent games on the Final day of the league stage. A loss though ends their tournament.

Lucknow, like the Chennai Super Kings, need a win to put them in contention for the top two spot. A loss though leaves them sweating. Furthermore, they will be following the CSK game rather closely as a Chennai win will be leaving them with some work to do on their net-run rate if they are to get past CSK on the points table. If CSK lose though, Lucknow’s job becomes a touch easier.

They put up a spectacular performance in the last game as Marcus Stoinis and Naveen Ul Haq together pulled off a win that did not look likely at various stages of the game.

KKR vs LSG Key Players

Ayush Badoni

Ayush Badoni was the game changer against Chennai as he took the bowlers on despite wickets falling at the other end. He batted really well on a slow track and is proving to be an impact player in the middle order for the Lucknow Super Giants

Jason Roy

Jason Roy has been providing KKR with the intent they were looking for upfront. He is scoring really well, and has been pretty consistent, allowing the KKR line-up to look a lot more dangerous with some dangerous stroke makers behind him.
