Kolkata Knight Riders Preview

KKR`s opening woes continue as they slumped to 32/2 in the powerplay with both openers dismissed cheaply. Nitish Rana (48 runs) and Shreyas Iyer (34 runs) re build their innings and kept the chase on track before Rinku Singh`s 23-ball 42 runs took them over the line comfortably. Andre Russell, Sunil Narine, and Anukul Roy form a strong lower order batting unit for KKR.

Umesh Yadav was superb with the ball and finished with figures of 4-1-24-1. Narine and Anukul Roy were very economical and gave just 47 runs in their combined 8 overs. Tim Southee and Shivam Mavi claimed 3 wickes between them but gave runs at a higher economy rate last night.

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS

Weather Conditions

Pune has bright and sunny weather with very less to no chances of rain on the match day. We expect a full match with no external interruptions. Dew might come in to trouble the bowlers in second innings.

Venue Details

Pune pitch has been assisting the spinners in the middle overs with turn and bounce and it might get slower as the match progresses. We expect average scores to be around 160-180 runs in this match.

Toss: To Bat

Both teams will opt to bat first on this pitch as the pitch will slow down as the match progresses but the dew might tempt the skippers to bowl first.

LSG vs KKR
Winning Prediction

LSG has excellent depth in their batting and bowling units with a variety of options available at their disposal. They rely heavily on their top-3 for runs in this season so far. KKR`s batting unit has been very unsettled and is changed pretty often in this season.  They also lack a good death bowler and spin partner from Narine in this season. We expect LSG to win this match owing to their all-round team balance in batting and bowling departments.

LSG will win the match
