Kolkata Knight Riders on Sunday will return to their home ground Eden Gardens to take on Lucknow Super Giants in another enthralling encounter of the IPL 2024. KKR have got on to a fantastic start in the tournament. They have only lost only one match which came against Chennai Super Kings in the last match. LSG too are coming to Kolkata on the back of a defeat to Delhi Capitals.
While KKR sit at the second spot of the IPL table courtesy of their six points and a superior net run-rate than any other team in the tournament, KL Rahul’s LSG are at the fourth spot with same number of points but having played a game more.

According to Parimatch, the odds are slightly tilted in KKR’s favour. Courtesy of the fixture being at the home of the two-time champions. KKR have an odd of 1.77 while LSG possess an odd of 2.05. KKR have a formidable team at their disposal this season, with batters and bowlers knowing exactly what their job is. The presence of power-hitters in the team have ensured KKR can score runs at will. They have already scored 200s twice in the tournament and have chased 183 in under 17 overs.
The pitch at the Eden Gardens is expected to be batting friendly with some help for spinners which can work to KKR’s advantage. Sunil Narine has been brilliant with both the bat and the ball and is expected to play an instrumental part in this match too.
