Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) will be playing against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) at Eden Gardens, Kolkata for match no. 21 of the Indian Premier League (IPL). KKR made an incredible comeback in the last home game and they’ll be looking forward to continue with their winning momentum.
KKR Vs LSG: Pitch Report
The Eden Gardens pitch is likely to be a dry surface, which historically plays in the favor of spinners. With minimum watering and the pitch set to slow down further as the match wears on, slower bowlers are likely to play a telling role. Eeden Gardens has traditionally been a batting ground, but in their recent match against SRH, KKR was able to score a commanding total of 200 runs, while displaying a balanced effort with four seamers on the other side, unlike KKR’s approach of employing three spinners. The pattern will predictably have an impact on the conditions for the KKR vs LSG match.
KKR Vs LSG: Weather Forecast
The temperature in Kolkata will begin at approximately 33°C when the match begins, falling to 29°C when the game ends, according to AccuWeather. The weather will be partly cloudy with a very slight possibility of rain, but it is very likely that the weather conditions will not interfere with the game.

KKR Vs LSG: Toss Strategy
Eden Gardens is expected to have a dry pitch and a spin-friendly surface hence the captain that wins the toss should opt to bat first as the pitch gets slow as the match progresses. With pitch getting slower it becomes difficult for the batter to pick up big shots. The slower nature of the pitch will also give their spinners the upper hand in the second half of the game, putting pressure on the chasing team.
