Match Prediction – KKR vs LSG, 66th Match IPL 2022 – Who Will Win Today’s Match?

Kolkata Knight Riders will be up against Lucknow Super Giants in the 66th match of IPL 2022 at the DY Patil Sports Academy in Navi Mumbai. Despite consecutive losses in the most recent games, Lucknow Super Giants are almost sure of reaching the playoffs. Meanwhile, Kolkata Knight Riders have a glimmer of hope with three wins in the last four matches, but they still have a mountain to climb.

It has been a weird season for two-time IPL champions Kolkata Knight Riders. They began the campaign in strong fashion, but then fell completely flat in the middle and went on to lose several consecutive matches. However, there has been a resurgence lately and KKR have won three of their last four games. While it has offered a glimmer of hope of reaching the playoffs, their fate is no longer in their hands, and they will also have to depend on RCB, DC and PBKS dropping points.

KKR are sixth in the IPL 2022 table they have secured victories in six of their 13 matches so far and have 12 points to their account. They also have a net run rate of +0.160. RCB have a two-point lead over KKR while DC are level on the same points but have a game in hand.

Kolkata Knight Riders squared off against Sunrisers Hyderabad in their most recent game. Thanks to Andre Russell’s brilliance with both the bat as well as the ball, they ended up securing a magnificent 54-run victory. Russell remained not out on 49 off 28 deliveries and also picked up three wickets with the ball in hand.

On the other hand, their opponents Lucknow Super giants are almost certain of making it to the playoff places. In their debut Indian Premier League campaign, LSG have secured wins in eight of their 13 game so far and have 16 points to their name. They are third in the table behind Gujarat Titans and Rajasthan Royals and have been quite impressive. However, the recent run of two consecutive losses will be concerning for KL Rahul and co.

They lost the first match against Gujarat Titans in a top of the table affair by 62 runs. LSG then followed it up with another 24-run defeat at the hands of Rajasthan Royals, which has allowed the latter to overtake them and climb to second in the points table.

The two sides have faced each other just once before. Lucknow Super Giants won that encounter quite comfortably by a margin of 75 runs on 7th May.
