KKR vs LSG Match Prediction & Analysis
With some fascinating results, the Indian Premier League is cruising ahead in its second week. Kolkata Knight Riders will face Lucknow Super Giants at Eden Gardens, Kolkata, on 09th April, from 7:30 pm onwards IST. Will it be another last-ball thriller? All three LSG victories against KKR have come with a run difference of 4 runs & below.
Kolkata Knight Riders are currently in 8th place without a win. They finally received a point against the Punjab Kings as rain halted the game. They started the season with a 6-wicket loss to MI, followed by a 65-run loss to Sunrisers Hyderabad. The lack of mainstream bowlers and Cameroon Green's poor form are among the reasons.
Lucknow Super Giants have finally found a victory in their last game against Sunrisers Hyderabad. With 2 points in 2 games, they are currently in the 7th position. They chased down 157 runs in the last game with some hiccups. Mohammed Shami bowled a fabulous spell of 4 overs, giving just 9 runs and picking up 2 wickets.
In the last season, LSG managed to beat KKR by just 4 runs. Batting first, they scored 238 runs for the loss of 3 wickets. Mitchell Marsh (81) and Nicholas Pooran (87*) set the tone with 13 sixes. In return, KKR came hard with Rahane (61), Venkatesh Iyer (45), and Rinku Singh (38* off 15). But Rinku’s 14 runs in the last 3 balls couldn’t help them win. The other two victories of LSG against KKR have come by a run and by 2 runs only. It will be a cut-throat competition.

TEAMS PREVIEW
Kolkata Knight Riders Preview
KKR is missing players like Starc and Shreyas Iyer in the squad. They earned a point in the last game but showed their batting issues with 2 wickets failing in the first 4 overs before the rain halted the game. Skipper Ajinkya Rahane will open the innings with Finn Allen. Allen scored 28 off 7 balls against Sunrisers Hyderabad. He has a strike rate of 229 in 3 games and has sent one of the two balls he faced out of the park (11 fours and 4 sixes in 31 balls). Rahane started the season with 67 off 40 balls against the Mumbai Indians and has added 16 runs in the next two games.
Cameron Green will come in at number three. Green has yet to make an impact. In 3 games, he has scored just 24 runs. All eyes will be on Angkrish Raghuvanshi, who has scored half-centuries in the first two games and remained not out before the rain halted the third game. He has 110 runs at a strike rate of 169.23. He will be the batter to watch out for. Raghuvanshi will take the help of Rinku Singh, Anukul Roy, and Ramandeep Singh in the middle. Rinku scored 33 in the first game, followed by 35 in the second. Singh is the weak link in the middle and has 14 runs in 2 games.
The KKR bowling attack looks grim. They have managed to take 11 wickets in 2 games. Blessing Muzarabani will lead the bowling attack with Roy, Vaibhav Arora, and Karthik Tyagi. Muzarabani picked up 4 for 41 in the last game. He will be the bowler to watch out for. Arora has picked up 3 wickets, but his economy if over 12. The same is the case with Tyagi, who is leaking runs at a rate of 12.
Key Players: Finn Allen, Ajinkya Rahane, Angkrish Raghuvanshi.
KKR Over/Under Betting Tips
Angkrish Raghuvanshi: Total Runs Over 24.5 @ 1.85
Raghuvanshi has been the standout batter for KKR this season, scoring half-centuries against Mumbai Indians and Sunrisers Hyderabad. He has taken a measured and calculated approach, accumulating 110 runs in 3 matches so far. With KKR desperately needing a win, Raghuvanshi will be central to their batting effort, and his consistent record in this tournament makes the over 24.5 runs line a safe bet.
Total Fours Over 16.5 @ 1.85
KKR are averaging 17.5 fours per match this season. Their overall record at Eden Gardens sits at 15 fours per match, but this season they have been a far stronger boundary-hitting side.
Kolkata Knight Riders Predicted Playing XI:
Ajinkya Rahane (c), Cameron Green, Angkrish Raghuvanshi (wk), Rinku Singh, Ramandeep Singh, Anukul Roy, Sunil Narine, Varun Chakaravarthy, Vaibhav Arora, Kartik Tyagi, Blessing Muzarabani.

Lucknow Super Giants Preview
All good when you register your first win, though it comes in the last over. Lucknow Super Giants beat Sunrisers Hyderabad in the last game by 5 wickets. Their bowlers dismantled the SRH batting lineup with Shami giving just 9 runs and picking up 2 wickets in his 4 overs. Pant then scored a half-century (68* off 50) to get the 2 points.
Aiden Markram will open the innings with Mitchell Marsh. Markram scored 45 in the last game. Marsh has 49 runs in 2 games at a strike rate of 122.5. Rishabh Pant will come in at number three. A misfortunate runout in the first game was followed by a half-century in the second. He is yet to hit a six, though. He will be the batter to watch out for.
The LSG middle-order is a bit weak so far. Abdul Samad will team up with Ayush Badoni and Nicholas Pooran. While Samad has 52 runs in 2 games, Badoni and Pooran have collectively scored 21 runs. Pooran loves to play against KKR. In LSG’s last two wins over KKR, he was the player of the match. He scored half-centuries (87* & 58) in both games at a strike rate of 220.
Mohammed Shami will lead the bowling attack with Digvesh Singh Rathi, Prince Yadav, and Avesh Khan. Shami picked up 2 for 9 in the last game. He will be the bowler to watch out for. Yadav has picked up 2 wickets each in two games. While Rathi has gone for runS, Avesh has taken 2 wickets in the last game.
Key Players: Aiden Markram, Rishabh Pant, Mohammed Shami.
LSG Over/Under Betting Tips
Aiden Markram: Total Fours Over 2.5 @ 1.85
Markram is one of the cleanest and crispest hitters in this fixture, finding gaps with precision against both spin and pace. He has hit 7 fours in two matches this season, averaging 3.5 fours per match. At Eden Gardens he is averaging 2.66 fours per match, and against KKR he has hit 21 fours in 8 matches, averaging 2.63 fours per match.
LSG Total Sixes Over 11.5 @ 2.10
LSG have not been at their best in the six-hitting market this season, averaging just 3.5 sixes per match. However, they are expected to find their range against a KKR bowling attack that has conceded 23 sixes in the last two matches. Crucially, the last time LSG played at Eden Gardens they smashed 15 sixes.
Total Fours Over 16.5 @ 1.90
LSG are averaging 16 fours per match this season and are a strong boundary-hitting side. Over the last two seasons at Eden Gardens, LSG have averaged 16 fours per match.
Lucknow Super Giants Predicted Playing XI:
Mitchell Marsh, Rishabh Pant (c) (wk), Aiden Markram, Nicholas Pooran, Abdul Samad, Mukul Choudhary, Manimaran Siddharth, Avesh Khan, Mohammed Shami, Digvesh Singh Rathi, Prince Yadav.

Total Over/Under Betting Tips
Total Match Score Over 388.5 @ 1.91
The average combined match total at Eden Gardens last season was 378.8 runs, and the last time LSG and KKR met here the total match score was a staggering 472 runs.
Total Match Sixes Over 20.5 @ 1.80
KKR are averaging 9 sixes per match this season, while LSG are averaging 3.5. LSG's big hitters have not yet come to the party, but the last time these two teams played at Eden Gardens it was a six-fest with 25 sixes hit in total. Expect a similar contest where both teams will look to clear the ropes as frequently as possible.
Total Fours in the Match Over 33.5 @ 1.90
Eden Gardens is one of those venues where the outfield is fast and boundaries are easy to come by. The average number of fours hit per match at this venue across the last seven IPL matches is 34. The last time LSG and KKR met at this venue, the total fours tally was 45.
LSG to win the coin toss @ 1.90
The toss will be key in today's match, with the team that bowls first holding a clear advantage given the damp conditions expected early on. KKR have won four of the six coin tosses against LSG, and this season KKR won two of their three coin tosses while LSG won one and lost one. We back LSG to win the coin toss and opt to bowl first.
Toss: To Bat
It is a batting-friendly pitch with spinners enjoying the conditions as the game progresses. In the last IPL season, 6 games were played here, and the team has defended the target on 4 occasions. The team winning the toss should bat first.
KKR vs LSG
Winning Prediction
KKR’s bowling attack is one of the weakest in the league. They have conceded 200-plus runs in both games and have picked up just 11 wickets. They have to figure out how they can play Rovman Powell in the squad, especially in the place of Green. Powell strikes at 158 in 4th place. While Nicholas Pooran has two half-centuries against KKR in the last 2 wins, Rinku Singh has 145 runs in the last 3 losses at a strike rate of 230. It will be the middle-order that will decide the winners.
We predict that Lucknow Super Giants will defeat Kolkata Knight Riders.
