Match Details

The 66th match of IPL 2022 between Kolkata Knight Riders and Lucknow Super Giants will be played on Wednesday, 18 May 2022 at The Dr DY Patil Sports Academy, Mumbai. The match will start at 07:30 PM local time.

Kolkata Knight Riders Reviews

The batting order of KKR is strong and experianced but we don’t think that they had performed in IPL 2022 as their fans were expecting. Venkatesh Iyer and Ajinkya Rahane are opening the batting inning for KKR but had failed to provide a good opening start to the middle and lower batting order. Nitish Rana, Shreyas Iyer, and Andre Russell are leading the middle batting order while Rinku Singh, Sheldon Jackson, and Pat Cummins are taking care of the lower batting order. These all batters were not good in the previous match against MI where they could manage to score 165 runs in 20 overs. Venkatesh Iyer was the most successful batter with 43 runs to his name on 24 balls with the help of three boundaries and four huge sixes. Nitish Rana also performed well with the bat and scored 43 runs on 26 balls. He also smashed three boundaries and four huge sixes during his inning. Rahane scored 25 runs while Rinku Singh remained not out after scoring 23 runs. No other batter from the side of KKR could even enter into double figure.

Lucknow Super Giants Reviews

We had mentioned above that LSG was good in some opening matches of IPL 2022 but lost the momentum and lost some matches in the middle of this tournament. Their most recent lose came against RR by a huge margin. The bowling department of LSG is experianced and they also have many options to use when needed. Mohsin Khan, Dushmantha Chameera, Avesh Khan, Jason Holder, Ravi Bishnoi, Stoinis, Ayush Badoni, and Krunal Pandya are the bowlers available in the squad of LSG. They were not good in the previous match where they leaked 178 runs in 20 overs. Ravi Bishnoi was the highest wicket-taker from their side who picked two wickets in four overs bowled out against 31 runs. Ayush Badoni, Jason Holder, and Avesh Khan picked one wicket each while Mohsin Khan, Chameera, Krunal Pandya, and Stoinis were the bowlers who could not pick any wicket. LSG has to make some key changes in the bowling department for this match to win this match and we are sure that they will make major changes in the bowling department.

KKR vs LSG to Head Matches

Kolkata had played just one match against Lucknow where LSG had won that match with a handsome margin.

Kolkata Knight Riders had won three out of most recent five matches they had played while Lucknow Super Giants had also won three matches out of five recently played matches.

There are many factors that make Kolkata Knight Riders a favorite team to win this match. Some of the key factors are mentioned as under:

  • KKR had been weak in IPL 2022 but they have potential to win this match
  • LSG had beaten KKR in this tournament with a handsome margin
  • The batting order of LSG is very strong and experienced

Toss Prediction

The toss is going to play an important in the result of each and every match of IPL 2022 as we had observed in the previous matches. According to toss prediction, the team who will win the toss will elect to field first as defending had been dificult in the most recent matches of IPL.

Pitch Report and Conditions

The 66th match of IPL T20, 2022 is going to be held at the Dr DY Patil Sports Academy, Mumbai. We had observed in the previous matches played here that the pitch here at this venue is good for batting in early overs. The track has a good amount of pace and bounce which allow the batsmen for the good cricketing shorts but this groung also have big boundaries which can be a plus point for the bowlers. A score of 190 plus seems to be a par score.

Weather Report

The weather forecast for Mumbai is good this cricket match. There are almost no chances of rain in the region and we are hopeful that we will have a full match to enjoy.

Shreyas Iyer (c), Venkatesh Iyer, Nitish Rana, Rinku Singh, Andre Russell, Sunil Narine, Sheldon Jackson (wk), Pat Cummins, Tim Southee, Varun Chakaravarthy, Ajinkya Rahane.
