Defending champions Kolkata Knight Riders are set to host Lucknow Super Giants in a high-stakes IPL afternoon clash at the Eden Gardens on Tuesday. Both teams have amassed four points from as many games since the start of the IPL 2025 season, after managing two wins each heading into the contest.
For Kolkata, it has been a topsy-turvy run thus far. After early defeats to Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Mumbai Indians, KKR bounced back to form, beating Sunrisers Hyderabad. They had earlier beaten Rajasthan Royals in Guwahati as well. LSG incurred an exactly similar run. They lost against Delhi Capitals in their opener, before beating Sunrisers. On homecoming, they were stunned by Punjab Kings, before they bounced back to beat Mumbai.
Lucknow hold a narrow edge in the head-to-head tie, winning three of their five encounters with the defending champions, although KKR won both their last two meetings in IPL 2024.
