Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) will take on Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) at Eden Gardens in Match 15 of IPL 2026, looking to end their winless run after three games.
KKR’s ONLY point of IPL 2026 came courtesy of a rain-hit game against PBKS in Kolkata on April 6. The host frnachie were 25/2 when the rain arrived, and the match couldn’t resume due to a wet outfield.
Ajinkya Rahane’s call to bat first under cloudy sky drew criticism, especially with rain coming down later in the evening. Although KKR managed to share points, questions remain over their team combination and tactical decisions.
Lucknow Super Giants head into the clash on the back of a five-wicket triumph against Sunrisers Hyderabad. Mohammed Shami starred with the ball, claiming 2/9, dismissing Abhishek Sharma and Travis Head in quick succession. Having dismantled KKR in Kolkata earlier, Shami is expected to be a key threat again at Eden Gardens.
Weather remains a key factor, with persistent showers in Kolkata over the past three days and more rain predicted in the coming days. However, with the game set for a 7:30 pm start, conditions are likely to improve.
