New Delhi: Both Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) will be looking to continue their winning run when they lock horns against each other at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 on Tuesday, April 08. KKR thrashed Sunrisers Hyderabad by 80 runs in their last game while LSG registered a 12-run win against Mumbai Indians.
Both teams have blown hot and cold this season and have managed two wins each in their first four matches. After losing to Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in their opener, KKR bounced back to winning ways against Rajasthan Royals. They lost their next game against Mumbai Indians by 8 wickets before beating SRH in their last outing.
Lucknow Super Giants also started their season with a defeat against Delhi Capitals (DC) before beating Sunrisers Hyderabad to return to winning ways. LSG lost to Punjab Kings in their 3rd game of the season before beating five-time champions Mumbai Indians in their last match. The two teams will be looking to win two games in a row for the first time this season when they clash at the Eden Gardens on Tuesday.
KKR’s biggest concern is their openers failing to fire consistently this season. Quinton de Kock did slam an unbeaten 97 against RR but has failed to provide the team with good starts regularly. Meanwhile Sunil Narine has looked far from his best with the bat. LSG too are dealing with batting woes as skipper Rishabh Pant is yet to fire and has managed only 19 runs in 4 matches so far this season.
