Lucknow Super Giants v Kolkata Knight Riders stats and head-to-head record (H2H)

Lucknow Super Giants won their first IPL meeting with Kolkata Knight Riders by 75 runs in May 2022 when KKR were bowled out for just 101 in Pune.

The next two clashes also produced victories for Lucknow – by margins of just two runs and one run – before Kolkata's thumping eight-wicket win at Eden Gardens earlier this season.

Overseas stars Mitchell Starc (3-28) and Phil Salt (89 not out off 47 balls) powered KKR to victory that day but Lucknow come into the return fixture in good form, winning three of their last four matches including a double over defending champions Chennai Super Kings.

Lucknow left out South Africa opener Quinton de Kock for Tuesday's win over Mumbai, with Australian middle-order batsman Ashton Turner making his first appearance of the season.

However, Turner scored only five while opener Arshin Kulkarni was dismissed for a first-ball duck so De Kock could return to face Kolkata.

Fast bowler Mayank Yadav is a major doubt as he was unable to complete his fourth over during his comeback from injury against Mumbai.

Kolkata fast bowler Harshit Rana is available after serving a one-match ban.

Middle-order batter Nitish Rana is still recovering from injury but Manish Pandey will be hoping for another opportunity after scoring a crucial 42 as an Impact Player in Friday's victory over Mumbai.
