The Eden Gardens will host the Match 15 of IPL 2026 as Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) take on Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) on Thursday, April 9.
Kolkata Knight Riders have faced a tough beginning to their IPL 2026 season. The Rahane-led side fell short against the Mumbai Indians by six wickets at Wankhede and suffered a crushing 65-run defeat against Sunrisers Hyderabad. A washed-out game against the Punjab Kings gave them a single point. Ahead of this encounter, KKR fans are hoping that their top order finds form.
Lucknow Super Giants have had a mixed start to IPL 2026, having played just two matches. Their campaign kicked off against Delhi Capitals at home, where they had the visiting franchise reeling at 26/4 while defending a modest 142. However, Sameer Rizvi steered the Capitals to a thrilling victory, leaving LSG frustrated despite a strong start.
LSG recovered well in their second match, recording their maiden victory of IPL 2026 against Sunrisers Hyderabad. A sharp and disciplined bowling display set the platform, and the batting lineup chased the target with five wickets in hand, boosting their confidence ahead of the upcoming clash.
