Lucknow Super Giants will host Kolkata Knight Riders in the 54th match of the IPL 2024 at the Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow. Following an easy win against MI in the tournament, LSG have taken one more step towards making the IPL playoffs for the third time in succession. For KKR, a one-sided victory against DC helped them to consolidate their second place in the IPL 2024 points table. Pitch Report The pitches at the Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow have been allowing the batters to play freely in the IPL 2024, which wasn’t the case in the T20s played here in the last couple of years. That’s why, the average first innings score of 160 here in the history of the IPL has fast become a below-par total for teams to defend in the ongoing tournament. LSG Probable XI: KL Rahul (C, wk), Marcus Stoinis, Deepak Hooda, Nicholas Pooran, Ashton Turner, Ayush Badoni, Krunal Pandya, Ravi Bishnoi, Naveen-ul-Haq, Mohsin Khan, Yash Thakur [Impact substitute: Arshin Kulkarni] KKR Probable XI: Philip Salt (wk), Sunil Narine, Shreyas Iyer (C), Venkatesh Iyer, Rinku Singh, Andre Russell, Ramandeep Singh, Mitchell Starc, Harshit Rana, Vaibhav Arora, Varun Chakaravarthy [Impact substitute: Angkrish Raghuvanshi/Manish Pandey]
