Preview
In the 28th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024, Kolkata Knight Riders will take on Lucknow Super Giants at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata. Both KKR and LSG are currently in the top three of the IPL points table, playing some splendid cricket in all three departments of the game. The tough loss in their previous match down south in Chennai will push Kolkata players to deliver a better performance in front of their home fans to get back to winning ways at the expense of Lucknow in the IPL 2024 season.

Analysis
Kolkata Knight Riders batting lineup is reaping the rewards of promoting Sunil Narine at the top of the order, who is providing fast starts to the team in the powerplay, allowing the likes of the captain Shreyas Iyer, Angkrish Raghuvanshi, and Venkatesh Iyer to go at their own pace before the lower order exploits at the end. In the bowling department, the spin bowling pair of Varun Chakravarthy and Sunil Narine has been quite consistent in recent IPL 2024 matches, but they will be hoping for the big-money signing, Mitchell Starc, to find some consistency with the ball.
On the other side, the Lucknow Super Giants' top order, including the likes of the captain KL Rahul, Quinton de Kock, and Marcus Stoinis have registered a couple of good scores in the IPL 2024, it’s the consistency of power-hitting from Nicholas Pooran, which has propelled them to their early success. The five-wicket haul from Yash Thakur against Gujarat Titans in the previous match strengthened the Lucknow Super Giants bowling lineup, which might miss out on the presence of Mayank Yadav in the next couple of games, as per the reports, due to a niggle.
