Lucknow vs Kolkata on May 5

 

Lucknow Super Giants continue their ongoing IPL (Indian Premier League) 2024 by taking on Kolkata Knight Riders. Both sides will lock horns at the Ekana Stadium in Lucknow in the 54th game of the tournament on Sunday, May 5. Lucknow have been performing brilliantly, with six wins and four losses. LSG currently have 12 points to their name and currently sit in third place in the standings. On the other hand, Kolkata Knight Riders sit in second place in the standings and are also within touching distance of reaching the knockout rounds of the tournament. With 14 points, KKR has registered seven wins and will aim to register their eighth win of the season. 

 

Best economical pick – Lucknow Super Giants’ Yash Thakur could be the best bowler in the upcoming game against Kolkata Knight Riders. With 10 wickets in his last eight matches, Thakur has been one of the best finds of the season, and his spell would be key for LSG in the upcoming game. 

Top captains & vice captains – Kolkata Knight Riders’ Sunil Narine could be the best batter in the upcoming game against Lucknow Super Giants. The star all-rounder has been in exceptional form, having scored 380 runs in his last 10 games, Narine’s performance in the top-order could be crucial for the two-time champions. Nicholas Pooran had scored 45 runs in the previous KKR vs LSG clash. The Caribbean big-hitter is LSG's key strength in the middle order and can also provide a fiery finish for the team.

Smart pick Phil Salt was the Player of the Match (89* off 47) when KKR beat LSG last time. The opening batter has been in excellent form this season, scoring nearly 400 runs at a strike rate of 180.45.

Cautious Pick Deepak Hooda was dismissed of just 8 runs against LSG last time. The middle-order batter is still struggling to find his form and it would be wise to leave him out of your fantasy teams.

My XI – Sunil Narine (Captain), Nicholas Pooran (Vice-Captain), Phil Salt, Yash Thakur, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul, Andre Russell, Quinton de Kock, Marcus Stoinis, Venktesh Iyer, Krunal Pandya
