Preview:

Kolkata Knight Riders will face Lucknow Super Giants in the 66^th match of the IPL 2022 on Wednesday. Kolkata Knight Riders still kept their play-off hopes alive with a dominating win over Sunrisers Hyderabad by 54 runs on Saturday. They struggled to find the right combination in the middle phase of the tournament however have found the perfect match in the last couple of matches where they won by more than 50 runs each. It’s a must-win game for them to stay in the contest and they will have a close look at the results of Royal Challengers Bangalore and Delhi Capitals.

Lucknow Super Giants on the other hand are taking too much time to qualify for the playoffs. They lost two back-to-back matches on the trot against Rajasthan Royals and Gujarat Titans by 24 runs and 62 runs respectively. They slipped down to 3^rd spot in the standings with 16 points. They need to win this match by a huge margin to finish in the top 2 spots which will give them an extra edge to qualify for the finals. Skipper Lokesh Rahul hasn’t fired in the last 3 matches which is a huge concern for the management.
