KKR vs LSG Match Preview
- Andre Russell has been in excellent form recently, but Shreyas Iyer has been KKR’s most reliable batter this season. We believe Iyer will be KKR’s leading run-scorer in this match. Andre Russell has taken seven wickets in his last three games with the ball, and we expect him to be the top wicket-taker for KKR against the Lucknow Super Giants.
- In this year’s tournament, KL Rahul has two centuries and two half-centuries. He is our pick for the highest run-scorer for the Lucknow Super Giants versus KKR. Avesh Khan has six wickets in his last three appearances and is a strong contender for the leading wicket-taker in this match for the Lucknow Super Giants.
- Andre Russell is second only to Jos Buttler in the 2022 IPL six-hitting statistics with 32 sixes. Russell is our pick for Match 66’s Player To Hit The Most Sixes.
On Wednesday evening at the DY Patil Stadium in Mumbai, Kolkata Knight Riders and Lucknow Super Giants will play in Match 66 of the 2022 Indian Premier League. With 12 points on the board, KKR is in sixth place. After eight wins in the campaign, the Lucknow Super Giants sit in third place. The game will start at 19:30 local time.
In their last two games, KKR has easily defeated Mumbai Indians and Sunrisers Hyderabad and will have built up some winning momentum. In this match, though, Lucknow Super Giants will be a far more difficult opponent.
The Lucknow Super Giants are coming off back-to-back losses against the Gujarat Titans and Rajasthan Royals. They will be optimistic about their prospects of winning this match.
