oday IPL Match: The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 is in full swing, offering fans with non-stop cricketing action from March 22 to May 25, across 74 exciting matches. Among the standout contests this season is the much-anticipated face-off between Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and Lucknow Super Giants (LSG).
These two teams have met five times in previous IPL editions, with Lucknow Super Giants holding a slight edge, having won three of those encounters. This time, KKR will host LSG at the iconic Eden Gardens in what promises to be a high-stakes clash.
Originally slated for April 6, the fixture was rescheduled and will now take place on Tuesday, adding to the anticipation surrounding this key battle in the league. “The decision follows a request from Kolkata Police to the Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) regarding the deployment of personnel across the city owing to festivities,” BCCI said in a release.
The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 continues with Match 21 featuring the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) against the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) at Eden Gardens in Kolkata on April 8. Both teams have had a balanced start to the season, each securing two wins and two losses. KKR enters the match with confidence following a commanding 80-run victory over Sunrisers Hyderabad. Similarly, LSG is buoyed by a narrow 12-run win against Mumbai Indians. Historically, LSG leads the head-to-head record with three wins out of five encounters, but KKR claimed both victories in their 2024 meetings. The Eden Gardens pitch is expected to offer a balanced contest, with an average score around 169 and potential assistance for spinners, especially during day-night matches.
In their IPL history, Kolkata Knight Riders and Lucknow Super Giants have clashed 5 times, with LSG having the upper hand by securing 3 victories. Here’s a quick look at their head-to-head record.
