IPL 2022: KKR vs LSG Dream11 Prediction, Fantasy Tips. Possible Playing 11, Match Prediction

Mumbai, May 17: Lucknow Super Giants will face Kolkata Knight Riders on Wednesday (May 18) with both the teams have a lot to play for in the race to the playoffs.

LSG under KL Rahul has 16 points from 13 matches and even though a defeat might not hurt their playoff chances but that will certainly put them in a tight place.

On the other hand, KKR led by Shreyas Iyer 12 points from 13 matches and a win is essential for them to maintain that slim chance to enter the playoffs. A defeat will close the road for KKR as far as the IPL 2022 playoffs is concerned.

KKR will perforce have to make a change in the playing 11 as Ajinkya Rahane has been ruled out of the IPL 2022 with a hip injury, that might even jeopardise his chances to get picked for India’s squad for the tour of England.
