Welcome to Sportstar’s live coverage of the IPL 2026 encounter between the Lucknow Super Giants and the Kolkata Knight Riders in Lucknow.
It has been an underwhelming campaign for both teams this season. They occupy the bottom two spots in the IPL 2026 standings. The winner of today’s contest will have the opportunity to go up to eighth place.
Kolkata Knight Riders enters the game on the back of its first win of the season, at home against Rajasthan Royals. LSG, on the other hand, is on a four-match losing streak. Both sides have struggled for top-order runs this season. KKR has opted to play Tim Seifert in place of Finn Allen.
LSG rolled the dice, opening with Ayush Badoni in its last two contests, but the move did not pay much dividend. The team might go back to the settled overseas combination and will hope the middle order can finally come good today.
