KKR vs LSG Dream11 Teams Prediction, Fantasy Cricket Tips, Playing XI, Pitch Report, Stats

Preview:

It will be the 66th match of IPL 2022 between Kolkata Knight Riders and Lucknow Super Giants. 

KKR have won 6 out of 13 matches and would need a win to have a chance to feature in the playoffs. They have won their last 2 games and the last loss came against Lucknow Super Giants only. KKR lost the first league game against LSG by 75 runs. 

The win against KKR was also the last one for LSG, who have lost their previous two matches. They have won 8 out of 13 matches and a win in this game would help them finish in the second position in the points table. The back to back defeats in their last couple of games - something LSG have endured for the first time this season - puts them on shaky ground ahead of their final league game against the Kolkata Knight Riders, and the best thing they can do is to go on and win it.

Match Details:

Kolkata Knight Riders vs Lucknow Super Giants, Match No. 66

Ground : Dr DY Patil Sports Academy, Mumbai

Date & Time: 18/05/2022, 07:30 PM IST

Pitch Report:

It will be the last game of the season at the Dr DY Patil Sports Academy. The pitch is expected to remain dry as we saw in the last game here and spinners might play a key role. For captains to win the toss and bat first. With the pitches tiring out, the case is simple.

Records and stats : 

In each of LSG's five defeats this IPL, both the openers have failed to cross 40; in each of their eight wins, at least one of them has managed to go past 40. 

KL Rahul opener coming into the game with scores of 10 (most recent), 8 and 0 in his last three games.

Rahul (469), Quinton de Kock (362) and Deepak Hooda (406) have scored 61% of the total runs for LSG. 

Manish Pandey and Evin Lewis in place of Ayush Badoni and Marcus Stoinis respectively will be good options.

Nitish Rana scored 176 runs in his last five games at an average of 44. He has also hit 22 sixes, the most by an Indian batter this season. 

KL Rahul has been dismissed for 10 or less for 12 times since the start of 2018 - six of those have come in this season alone and four of those in his last five innings. 

Shreyas Iyer has only 115 runs in his last 6 innings, at an average of 19.17 and a SR of 104.55.

Sunil Narine has an ER of only 5.48 this season.
