KKR vs LSG Dream11 Prediction IPL 2025 Match-21, Team News, Pitch Report, Squad, Fantasy Teams

A weekday double-header is quite rare in IPL, but we are up for it on Tuesday. The first game of Tuesday’s doubleheader is a rescheduled one to be played between Lucknow Super Giants and the hosts, Kolkata Knight Riders. This match was previously supposed to take place on Sunday but is now rescheduled for Tuesday.

Both teams are heading into this fixture on the back of a win. Lucknow defeated 5-time champions Mumbai Indians at home by 12 runs, whereas Kolkata Knight Riders decimated Sunrisers Hyderabad by a heavy margin of 80 runs at this very venue.

Currently placed 6th on the points table, LSG have won 2 and lost the same number of matches. A win here will take them among the top three. As far as the reigning champions, Kolkata Knight Riders are concerned, a dominating win in their last game against Sunrisers Hyderabad means they too have 2 wins from 4 games and are currently placed 5th, and a win here can elevate them among the top 3 as well.

Let’s delve deeper into this post for the KKR vs LSG Dream11 Prediction.

KKR vs LSG Eden Gardens, Kolkata Pitch Report

Eden Gardens is a venue renowned for its high-scoring thrillers in recent times. However, the dynamics might shift for this game. Reports suggest that the disagreement between the franchise and the Eden Gardens pitch curator over preparing a slower track has been resolved. As a result, the pitch is likely to offer more assistance to spinners in this encounter. If spin comes into play, the likes of Sunil Narine, Varun Chakravarthy from KKR, and Digvesh Rathi, Ravi Bishnoi from LSG could come to the party.
