After winning their last matches, KKR and LSG are looking to keep their winning streaks alive. Kolkata Knight Riders will have a home advantage going into this match. Will LSG come on top, or will KKR keep their form alive? Kolkata Knight Riders Kolkata Knight Riders bounced back in the competition with a roaring 80-run victory against Sunrisers Hyderabad in their last match. While batting first, KKR posted 200 for 6 in their first innings, with credits to fifties from Angkrish Raghuvanshi (50), Venkatesh Iyer (60) and a brilliant finish by Rinku Singh (32 off 17). Later, they bowled out the visiting team with a mere score of just 120 runs. Vaibhav Arora and Varun Chakravarthy were the star performers from the bowling lineup, with three wickets each. With this victory, they will aim to build on their form and register their second consecutive victory of IPL 2025. Lucknow Super Giants LSG, on the other hand, registered a comfortable 12-run victory at their home ground against Mumbai Indinas. While batting first, LSG posted 203 for 8 in their first innings with the help of half-centuries from Aiden Markram and Mitchell Marsh. Later, they restricted MI on a score of 191 for 5 in their second innings. This win would have given Rishabh Pant's side a much-needed confidence boost ahead of a blockbuster match on Tuesday. With two of the injured bowlers, Akash Deep and Avesh Khan, back in the team, LSG would be expecting to hit the nerve at Eden Gardens when they face KKR.
