Background
LSG Vs KKR: Hello and welcome to the live coverage of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 Match 54 between Lucknow Super Giants and Kolkata Knight Riders at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow. The fixture is of immense importance for both sides, as KKR are looking to go on top of the table with a victory today, and stretching the gap between them and the nearest challengers by atleast 4 points.
LSG will be aiming to grab the two points today as they play their last fixture at home this season. Also, they are in dire need of two poiints because of the fact that Chennai Super Kings have own their fixture against Punjab Kings today and are now above LSG on the basis of Net Run Rate (NRR). The KL Rahul-led side do have a match in hand but if they lose to KKR tonight, their spot in the Top 4 will come under heavy risk, as Sunrisers Hyderabad are in contention too.
