KKR vs LSG Dream11 Prediction With Stats, Pitch Report & Player Record of IPL 2023 For Match 68

KKR vs LSG Dream11 Prediction, Match 68 of IPL, 2023: Having secured only six wins from their 13 matches in the tournament so far, the Knight Riders may find themselves with little to gain in their current position.

KKR vs LSG: Kolkata Knight Riders will lock horns against Lucknow Super Giants in Match 68 of the IPL, 2023 on Saturday, May 20, 2023, at Eden Gardens, Kolkata.

This game is of utmost importance for Lucknow Super Giants, as it is a must-win situation for their playoff hopes. A victory in this match could not only boost their chances of qualifying but also secure them the second position in the points table, provided they outperform the net run rate of Chennai Super Kings, who will be playing their match on the same day in the afternoon. At present, both teams share the same number of points, but Chennai Super Kings hold the top second spot due to their better net run rate.

On the other hand, Kolkata Knight Riders find themselves on the verge of being eliminated from the playoff qualification race, especially with teams like Mumbai Indians and Royal Challengers Bangalore still in contention for a top-four finish. With just six wins from their 13 matches in the tournament so far, the Knight Riders may not have a lot to gain. However, they could play the role of a party pooper and potentially impede Lucknow Super Giants’ journey to the playoffs.

Here are the match details, pitch report, probable playing 11, squads, player records/stats and dream11 fantasy team predictions for the Match 68 of the Indian Premier League, 2023.
