IPL 2023: Kolkata Knight Riders vs Lucknow Super Giants – Stats Preview

Kolkata Knight Riders will square off against Lucknow Super Giants in the 68th match of the ongoing Indian Premier League 2023 at the Eden Gardens, Kolkata on Saturday. KKR will have to win this contest to stay in contention for the playoffs whereas LSG are in a shoo-in position to make it to the last four.

LSG had won their previous match against Mumbai Indians by five runs after Marcus Stoinis played a blinder of innings to put his team in command. Stoinis scored a fine knock of 89 runs whereas Mohsin Khan had bowled a superb last over to deliver the goods for his team.

On the other hand, KKR had also registered a convincing six-wicket victory against CSK in their previous match to stay in contention for the last four and they will have to win against LSG to order to stay alive in the tournament. However, they will need other results to go their way.
