KKR have won two and lost as many in the first four matches. One of those wins for the reigning champions came in the last game against the Sunrisers Hyderabad. In the rematch of the last season’s final, KKR once against proved too hot to handle for Pat Cummins and his men.
LSG will also be carrying momentum for this game as they managed to win against Mumbai Indians by 12 runs. It was a close affair but the bowlers did their job and guided the team to a much-needed win.
