Playoff hopefuls Kolkata Knight Riders and Lucknow Super Giants clash in match 68 of the IPL 2023 at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata on double-header Saturday (May 20) with the match set to start at 7:30 PM IST.

KKR led by Nitish Rana and LSG led by Krunal Pandya will look to carry winning momentum and keep their playoff hopes alive. While KKR (12 points) have a slim chance of finishing in the top four, LSG (15 points) has a chance to push for a second-place finish.

KKR opened their campaign with a defeat to PBKS, but responded with back-to-back wins before going on a four match losing streak. They, however, have secured four wins in their last six matches, including their recent victory over Chennai Super Kings.

LSG, meanwhile, opened their season with three wins in four, but have since won 4, lost 4 and shared a point in one of their last nine matches with their most recent result being a victory over Mumbai Indians that got them closer to sealing a playoff spot.

The two sides will now clash for the first time this season at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata, where several players including KKR's Andre Russell and LSG's Marcus Stoinis, have a chance to reach milestones or break records.
