The Lucknow Super Giants will enter this game in excellent form after defeating the Mumbai Indians in their most recent game and winning again after losing to the Rajasthan Royals in Match 44. They will face one of the top teams in this IPL so far, though.

Lucknow Super Giants vs Kolkata Knight Riders Team Preview & Squads
Lucknow Super Giants
Mayank Yadav, who was cautious not to push him back too soon, was unable to finish his fourth over in the most recent game. It is thought that he sustained an abdominal muscle strain, which will likely prevent him from playing for the rest of the 2024 Indian Premier League season.
This year, KL Rahul, the opener, has been playing a more attacking position. In the last game, he struck three fours and a six. Year after year, he consistently achieves high scores. The Australian all-rounder Marcus Stoinis scored 62 runs off of 45 balls against the Mumbai Indians, and he has now claimed a wicket in each of his past three games in Lucknow.
In the previous game, spinner Ravi Bishnoi entered the attack and claimed the crucial wicket of Ishan Kishan. He has good control and variety in his bowling. After missing the last game, Yash Thakur, a 25-year-old right-arm fast-medium bowler, should be well-rested. This season, he has been Lucknow’s most effective bowler.

Kolkata Knight Riders
After his team won despite not playing at its peak level on Friday, Shreyas Iyer was ecstatic. Given the short notice of just two days before this Sunday’s match, we do not anticipate any changes to the starting lineup.
The English keeper-battler Phil Salt, who was expelled with the fourth ball on Friday, will be eager to contribute to this game after having a great campaign thus far. The 29-year-old left-hander Venkatesh Iyer won Player of the Match in the most recent match, coming through with 70 runs off of just 52 balls to save his team.
Left-arm speed bowler Mitchell Starc, who finished the match with three wickets in the 19th over, showed the Mumbai Indians how dangerous a bowler he can be by dismissing Ishan Kishan in his first over. On Friday, the off-spinner Varun Chakravarthy claimed the second and fourth wickets. With a brilliant performance, he finished with 2/22 from his four overs.
