Kolkata Eden Gardens Weather Report: What's the Weather for KKR vs LSG IPL 2023 Match on May 20?

Outdoor practice was severely affected on the eve of Indian Premier League 2023 Match 68 between Kolkata Knight Riders and Lucknow Super Giants in Kolkata due to persistent rain throughout several parts of the day. In what is going to be the last league match of the season for both these teams and last match for this particular venue, a washout on the penultimate day of the league phase would be an absolute shame.

Assuming that weather gods play spoilsport at the Eden Gardens tomorrow, it will become the sixth IPL 2023 match to get interrupted by rain. It is noteworthy that only one match of the season has been abandoned due to rain thus far. Co-incidentally, it was one of Super Giants’ home matches against Chennai Super Kings earlier this month.
