Kolkata Knight Riders vs Lucknow Super Giants Prediction & Betting Tips 2023
If we compare the two batting lineups, Kolkata Knight Riders have far more firepower in the locker as they bat deep and have at least five players who are capable of hitting big in games. Only once in four matches, KKR have conceded more sixes in a game which makes us believe KKR would score more sixes than LSG in the upcoming game.
Even though we might see some movement with the new ball, the wicket looks great for batters and we expect another high scoring game at the venue. The last game at the venue was between KKR and SRH and we saw both sides score 200 plus. We expect the total score would be higher than 355.5.
Match Prediction Best Odds
Kolkata Knight Riders vs Lucknow Super Giants Match Toss Prediction
Historically the venue has favoured the teams bowling first which has been the case in the last few games as two of the three games have been won by the chasing team which makes us believe both sides would prefer to bowl first at the venue.
Weather Report
With 5% chances of disruptions we believe climate would not play a major role in the game. Maximum temperature is expected to be 35C during the game and minimum temperature is expected to be 21C.

Kolkata Knight Riders vs Lucknow Super Giants Betting Odds
Lucknow Super Giants to have a better opening partnership than Kolkata Knight Riders
Lucknow Super Giants and Kolkata Knight Riders head into this game after a loss. LSG got outplayed at home by Delhi Capitals as they were second best in both departments. On the other hand, Kolkata Knight Riders went head to head against defending champions Chennai Super Kings as they surrendered their winning streak in the game. If we look at the stats, KKR openers have been dominant thus far but we cannot place this bet on the stat as batting style matters. KKR openers have been given licence to go big in the powerplay which makes them more vulnerable to losing early wickets in the game. On the other hand, LSG openers look far more assured which is probably why they have had a better opening stand in two of the last three matches which makes us believe LSG would end up having a better opening stand in the upcoming game.

Kolkata Knight Riders vs Lucknow Super Giants Kings Top Batters
Shreyas Iyer to be Kolkata Knight Riders’ top batter
Kolkata Knight Riders batsmen did not have a great game against Chennai Super Kings in the last game. Even with all the chaos, Shreyas Iyer should still and took KKR to a reasonable score as he scored the most runs for KKR in the game which makes him our top pick in the upcoming game.
Nicholas Pooran to be Lucknow Super Giants’ top batter
Even though Nicholas Pooran did not have a good game against Delhi Capitals in the last outing, we are still going to stick with him as he has had a solid campaign thus far. Prior to the DC game, Pooran scored 64, 42, 40 and 32 and remains the leading run scorer for his side which makes him our top pick in the upcoming game.
Kolkata Knight Riders vs Lucknow Super Giants Top Team Bowlers
Andre Russell to be Kolkata Knight Riders’ top bowler
With KKR missing Harshit Rana in the last few games and Mitchell Starc struggling to find his footing thus far, they haven’t been a standout bowler for KKR this season even though they have been dominant in the first half of the campaign. Andre Russell has been the most consistent bowler for KKR which makes him our top pick in the upcoming game.
Naveen-ul-Haq to be Lucknow Super Giants’ top bowler
Even though Yash Thakur is the leading wicket taker for LSG thus far, Naveen-ul-Haq has been the most consistent bowler for Lucknow Super Giants this season. Considering the fact Naveen would get some assistance with the new ball at the venue we expect him to bag early wickets which makes him our top pick in the upcoming game.
