Kolkata Knight Riders will be up against Lucknow Super Giants in a crucial IPL 2023 match on Saturday (May 20) at the iconic Eden Gardens in Kolkata. It promises to be an enthralling encounter as both teams are in the playoff hunt.
Home team KKR still have an outside chance to qualify for playoffs, and to have any chance, they need a win. For LSG, a victory can provide them 2nd spot while a defeat can be as malice as season-ending.

Kolkata Knight Riders and Lucknow Super Giants will meet for the first time this season. KKR's inconsistency has marred their progress this season as they find themselves in almost improbable territory.
LSG have faltered in some matches, but overall have looked decent and are poised to qualify for back-to-back playoffs. As the two teams meet in a crucial match again, LSG will have the onus to ensure their playoff status.
KKR have been inconsistent this season but they still have a case for the playoffs themselves. Although their inferior NRR makes it highly improbable, KKR will still be aiming to finish the season with a win in front of their home crowd. It is to be seen how they fare but we predict a KKR victory at the Eden Gardens.
KKR and LSG have met twice in IPL. LSG have a 2-0 lead as they won both of their previous meetings last year.
