LKN vs KOL Dream11 Match Preview

Lucknow Super Giants are in excellent form in IPL 2022. They are in 2nd position with 7 wins in 10 matches. They defeated the Delhi Capitals by 6 runs in their last game and now they’ve won 3 games in a row.  

KL Rahul is in sublime form and is scoring runs in almost every game. Quinton de Kock has failed to play a big innings in the last few matches but he too is looking in good form. Deepak Hooda is batting at number 3 for Lucknow and has done a great job. The middle-order of Lucknow is struggling a bit as Ayush Badoni and Krunal Pandya have been a little inconsistent with the bat but both are good players and expect them to do well in the upcoming games.

Their bowling attack is one of the best in the league as Dushmantha Chameera and Jason Holder have been brilliant with the new ball and in the death overs as well. Mohsin Khan has impressed everyone by picking 2 back to back 4 wicket-hauls. Krunal Pandya and Ravi Bishnoi have been good in the spin department. Lucknow is performing like a team and will look to continue that in the upcoming games. 

Kolkata Knight Rider finally won after losing 5 games consecutively. They defeated the Rajasthan Royals by 7 wickets in their last match. They played like a team with their batters and bowlers performing well and that’s a great sign for them.  

Opening has been their biggest challenge and they have failed to rectify it even in the last game. Aaron Finch failed again in the last game while Baba Indrajith who was promoted up the order too couldn’t leave any impact. Shreyas Iyer has been consistently scoring 30s but he needs to convert them into big scores. Nitish Rana and Rinku Singh have been their best batters in the last few games. Rana scored 48* in the last game while Rinku scored 42*. Both have been in great form. Andre Russell didn’t get to bat in the last match but we all know what he can do with the bat in hand.

Kolkata’s bowlers were brilliant in the last match. Umesh Yadav continued his good form and picked wickets with the new ball while Tim Southee bowled well in the death overs and picked 2 wickets. Shivam Mavi was brilliant as well with his variations. Anukul Roy too bowled well in his first game. KKR will look to keep the momentum going in this match and the upcoming matches.
