Kolkata Knight Riders vs Lucknow Super Giants Prediction & Betting Tips - Indian Premier League |
by Devesh Jaganath | in Indian Premier League Prediction
Match 31 in the 2024 Indian Premier League will see the Kolkata Knight Riders taking on the Lucknow Super Giants on Sunday afternoon. The hosts are currently in second place in the league standings, while the visitors are third. The Knight Riders have made a positive start to the campaign and are currently on six points after four games, two behind the Rajasthan Royals, though they have played a game more. So far, they have beaten the Sunrisers Hyderabad, Royal Challengers Bangalore, and Delhi Capitals but were unable to keep up their momentum, losing by seven wickets to an inspired Chennai Super Kings on Monday. KKR is leading the league with a net run rate of +1.528, which illustrates their all-round strength this season, as they do not have any player currently ranked in the top ten for either the orange or purple caps. However, the Knight Riders are likely in for a stern test here, having never beaten the Super Giants in three previous encounters.
Meanwhile, the Lucknow Super Giants have been equally impressive this season and are now on eight points after overcoming the Delhi Capitals on Friday. They began the tournament on a sour note, suffering a 20-run loss to the Rajasthan Royals. However, since then, they have responded in style, notching up three wins on the bounce, beating the Punjab Kings, Royal Challengers, Gujarat Titans, and the Capitals, most recently. LSG have also seen the burden to perform shared among their squad, though Nicolas Pooran has been a standout, scoring 178 runs in four innings, and he is currently ranked seventh in the race for the orange cap. With the ball, Mayank Yadav has been a revelation in this tournament and has already bagged six wickets in just nine overs. There really is very little to split these two based on form so far, and this match will likely come down to fine margins.

With that in mind, our Kolkata Knight Riders vs Lucknow Super Giants prediction: Total Sixes - Over 17.5
