Kolkata Knight Riders vs Lucknow Super Giants prediction

Kolkata Knight Riders haven’t started the season well at all, losing their first two games and had started the third match badly, losing two wickets early on before rain curtailed proceedings between them and Punjab Kings. This time round, Lucknow Super Giants are KKR’s opponents, who are coming off the back of a five-wicket triumph over Sunrisers Hyderabad with an unbeaten 68 from Rishabh Pant crucial.

Lucknow will likely hope to chase again here, having been beaten by Delhi when batting first. KKR need to improve in all facets of their game, with their marquee signing so far disappointing. Cameron Green was signed at the latest IPL auction for ₹25.2 crore and has delivered scores of just 18, 2 and 4 in his three innings with the bat. Clearly out of form, the smart move would be backing Green to continue his struggles.
