Readers must note that Lucknow had won the two matches after batting first. Speaking of the latest contest, a high-scoring encounter in Navi Mumbai had witnessed them securing a fascinating 2-run victory on the back of successfully defending a 211-run target. An absolute belter of a match, it had comprised third-highest individual score in IPL history, highest opening partnership and a last-over sensational catch.
The fact that all the below mentioned top performers are all in likeliness of taking the field tomorrow provides enough hints with respect to fans bracing themselves for another nail-biting encounter. Readers must note that it is going to be the last IPL 2023 match in Kolkata.
The second match on a Saturday double-header will be the first match between them at the Eden Gardens. Although LSG don’t have any experience of playing at this iconic venue, their mentor knows a thing or two about this ground for having led KKR to a couple of IPL titles across seven seasons between 2011-2017.
