KOL vs LKN Dream11 Prediction With Stats, Pitch Report & Player Record of IPL 2023 For Match 68
KOL vs LKN Dream11 Prediction, Match 68 of IPL, 2023: Lucknow Super Giants are facing a do-or-die situation as they approach a must-win game that will decide their fate in the playoffs.
KOL vs LKN: 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.
Lucknow Super Giants are gearing up for a must-win game that will determine their playoff qualification. A victory in this match could potentially elevate them to the second spot in the points table, provided they manage to surpass the net run rate of Chennai Super Kings, who are scheduled to play their match on the same day in the afternoon. Currently, both teams have an identical number of points, but Chennai Super Kings hold the advantage due to their superior net run rate.
Kolkata Knight Riders, on the other hand, are on the brink of elimination from the playoff qualification race, especially with strong contenders like Mumbai Indians and Royal Challengers Bangalore still vying for a top-four finish. With only six wins out of the 13 matches they have played so far in the tournament, the Knight Riders may not have much at stake. However, they could play the role of a party pooper and potentially obstruct Lucknow Super Giants’ path 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.
