Kolkata Knight Riders vs Lucknow Super Giants Predictions

The Knight Riders started like a house on fire, winning their first three matches before taking a seven-wicket hiding from the Chennai Super Kings. The defeat leaves them in second place but with a game in hand. The Super Giants were on a three-match winning streak before they were beaten by a resurgent Delhi Capitals side.

Kolkata Knight Riders’ Sunil Narine has scored 47, 85 & 27 in his last 3 innings.
Kolkata Knight Riders’ Phil Salt has scored 54 & 30 in his last 4 innings.
Lucknow Super Giants’ Nicholas Pooran has scored 64*, 42, 40* & 32* in his last 5 innings.
Lucknow Super Giants’ KL Rahul has scored 58, 20, 33 & 39 in his last 5 innings.

Head-to-Head

The Super Giants have won all three matches between the two sides.

Kolkata Knight Riders Form

The Knight Riders’ three-match winning streak was broken by the Super Kings, who beat them by seven wickets with 14 balls in hand.

The Knight Riders’ top-order failed to fire and the team stumbled to 137/9 off their 20 overs. Shreyas Iyer top-scored with 34.

The Super Kings stormed to victory off 17.4 overs for the loss of just three wickets, despite some superb bowling from Vaibhav Arora (2/28, econ 7.00).

Kolkata Knight Riders Team News

There are no injury reports from the Kolkata Knight Riders squad.

Lucknow Super Giants Form

The Super Giants had also won three on the bounce before being defeated by the Delhi Capitals by six wickets with 11 balls in hand.

The Super Giants got off to a good start through KL Rahul (39 off 22 balls), but the middle-order failed to fire. Ayush Badoni (55* off 35 balls) produced some fireworks to lift his side to 167/7 off their 20 overs.

Delhi Capitals got off to a flyer and were always ahead of the rate, knocking off the winning runs with 11 balls to spare. Ravi Bishnoi impressed with figures of 2/25 (econ 6.25).

Lucknow Super Giants Team News

Lucknow Super Giants are in good form and are unlikely to make any changes to their team.

Verdict

Kolkata Knight Riders v Lucknow Super Giants

I am backing Kolkata Knight Riders to win. I am also backing Sunil Narine to top score for Kolkata Knight Riders.

Nicholas Pooran is a good bet to top score for the Lucknow Super Giants.
