KKR vs LSG Match Preview

On Saturday, the Kolkata Knight Riders will face the Lucknow Super Giants in Match 68 of the 2023 Indian Premier League at Eden Gardens. The Kolkata Knight Riders must win this game to have any chance of making the play-offs. Lucknow Super Giants are currently in third place and could lose this match and still advance to the next round. If Kolkata Knight Riders had not defeated Chennai Super Kings in their final game, they would have been eliminated from the tournament. In this match, they must once again put in their best effort against a top team. With victories over Sunrisers Hyderabad and Mumbai Indians, Lucknow Super Giants have rediscovered their form. Even without KL Rahul, they appear to be a formidable side in the tournament once again.
