IPL 2025: Match 21, KKR vs LSG Match Prediction – Who will win today’s match between KKR vs LSG?

In this article, we will analyze the KKR vs LSG Match Prediction. Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) are set to host Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) at the iconic Eden Gardens in match No. 21 of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL 2025) on Tuesday, April 8.

The defending champions have had a topsy-turvy start to their campaign under new captain Ajinkya Rahane. They have two wins and as many losses under their belt after playing four games. While they suffered crushing defeats, their victories have been one-sided. In the last match, the Knights got the better of Sunrisers Hyderabad by 80 runs at home.

Lucknow also has two wins and two defeats from four matches so far in IPL 2025. They registered a thrilling 12-run win against the Mumbai Indians at the Wankhede Stadium in their last game. Lucknow’s new skipper, Rishabh Pant, is under the pump after failing with the bat in all four games. He would want to bounce back strongly on Tuesday against the Knights.

KKR vs LSG Match Details

Eden Gardens Pitch Report

There has been a lot of controversy surrounding the Eden Gardens pitch. As per reports, the picturesque stadium has two different kinds of surfaces ready. One is a high-scoring pitch, which has been more common at the historic venue in recent years. On the other hand, the second surface will assist the spinners more. In the last game, KKR scored 200/6 before dismissing the Sunrisers for 120. There was a decent amount of swing for the Pacers upfront. The spinners were getting assistance, but it was by no means a rank turner. It will be important for the captains to read the pitch correctly before the match and make plans accordingly.

Nicholas Pooran is the current Orange Cap holder in IPL 2025. He has amassed 201 runs from four innings at an average of 50.25 and a strike rate of 218.48. The West Indies wicketkeeper will enjoy batting at the Eden Gardens because of the fast outfield and relatively smaller boundaries. KKR bowlers would want to see the back of him before he gets himself set at the crease.
