Sunday, 14 Apr KKR vs LSG Match Prediction, Betting Odds and Tips

Key match factors – KKR vs LSG

• Kolkata is expected to produce another batting beauty. Hence, teams should opt to chase on the surface rather than batting first.
• Sunil Narine has been in great form at the top of the order. LSG bowlers cannot afford to let the batter get away in the powerplay.
• Mohsin Khan and Mayank Yadav’s injuries have weakened the LSG bowling attack to some extent. KKR will be looking to cash in on the same.
• Andre Russell can strike the ball a long distance and can also chip in with handy overs. LSG need to be wary of the big man.
