Pre-Match Analysis:
Kolkata Knight Riders earned a valuable 6 wickets win over Chennai Super Kings on Sunday to stay in the Playoffs race however their qualification will also depend on other results as well. Nitish Rana and Rinku Singh’s sensible batting helped them to cross the finishing mark over Chennai with 9 balls to spare. Varun Chakravarthy is ruling the show with the ball, picking up 19 wickets in this IPL. They have won matches when their batters have fired in crunch moments and will look to do the same in this match as well.
Lucknow Super Giants were outstanding with the bat against Mumbai Indians and won the game by 5 runs. On a slow wicket, their batters did an amazing job to score 177 runs thanks to Marcus Stoinis’ calculative knock who scored unbeaten 89* runs, and not to forget Krunal Pandya’s second fiddle who added 49 runs before getting retired hurt. Mohsin Khan’s magical last over was the main highlight of the match where he defended 11 runs successfully. In the end, it was an overall all-round performance that handed them 2 vital points. They need to ensure they win this match to qualify for the Playoffs however a bigger margin of win will get them to the top 2 spots.
