Lucknow Super Giants vs Kolkata Knight Riders Today Dream 11 Prediction Preview:
Outlook:
Lucknow Super Giants will lock horns with Kolkata Knight Riders in the 66th match of the ongoing IPL 2022 at the Dr. DY Patil Sports Academy in Navi Mumbai on Wednesday.

LSG, who won eight 8 games out of 13, are currently in 3rd place with 16 points and a win in the final league stage game ensures their seat to the first qualifier against Gujarat Titans on May 24 at Eden Gardens in Kolkata.
The last time they met this season, in the 57th match, the KL Rahul-led side beat the Kolkata Knight Riders by a big margin of 75 runs. LSG bowlers did a great job in that match to restrict KKR to just 101 and hand their team a much-needed 2 points.

Power Play scores:
A lot will depend on the KL Rahul and Quinton de Kock opening partnership as if they managed to play first 6 six overs, they should be able to post 50-55 runs. For Kolkata Knight Riders, the road is somehow different as even they have played 13 games so far, they will unable to find a perfect opening combination, in the last two games they tried with Venkatesh Iyer and Ajinkya Rahane, which somehow helped the team to provide a steady start, but Ajinkya Rahane is ruled out due to hamstring injury, they might bring back Aaron Finch, so we can expect a score in the range of 40-45, if batted first.

Both teams have power hitters in their line-ups, and considering that one can expect a firecracker show in the death overs. If one of the main batters of LSG remains till last then they can post 4-45 in the death overs. While Kolkata Knight Riders might put 40-45 on board in the final four overs.
Overall scores:
Lucknow Super Giants can post 170-180 if their opening duo provides them a strong start. While Kolkata Knight Riders might score in the range of 160 to 170 runs, if they batted first.
