Topmost Picks for LSG vs KKR Dream11 Prediction:

Top Picks – Kolkata Knight Riders

• Phil Salt- the English keeper-batter has had an excellent tournament so far and will be keen to produce something in this match after being dismissed fourth ball on Friday.
• Vaibhav Arora- the 26 year old right-arm fast medium bowler impressed with figures of 2/28 against CSK and dismissed Rachin Ravindra before also getting the wicket of Shivam Dubey.

Top Picks – Lucknow Super Giants

• KL Rahul- the opener hit three fours and a six in the last game and is clearly playing a more attacking role this year. He produces consistent scores year in year out.
• Yash Thakur- the 25 year old right-arm fast medium bowler should be well rested after missing the last game and he has been Lucknow’s most impressive bowler so far this season.

LSG vs KKR Probable Winners:

Both teams have won three of their last four games, so we can expect to see two confident teams take the field in this match. They may meet again in the play-offs later in the tournament, so there are opportunities to establish a lead on Sunday evening. Our prediction is for a very competitive match, but we believe the Kolkata Knight Riders, who have played to a slightly higher standard thus far, will win this game. Considering the team combination, Lucknow Super Giants are expected to win this match.
