KKR vs LSG 2025 IPL Match Prediction
Eden Gardens will likely prove to be an extremely high-scoring surface, offering batsmen from both teams an opportunity to capitalize and score quickly. Spinners could find some assistance from this wicket. It will be interesting to witness who uses this surface best in the Lucknow Super Giants vs Kolkata Knight Riders match scorecard.
Quinton de Kock and Sunil Narine will play key roles for KKR, even though their recent struggles may prevent them from producing. Venkatesh Iyer and Rinku Singh must improve if KKR wants to compete for a top-four spot.
KKR are a powerhouse side with an exciting blend of experienced veterans and up-and-coming talent, boasting one of the strongest batting lines in the competition and deep bowling attack that gives them control and depth.
After only winning two out of four matches this season so far, they will look to turn things around against LSG in order to keep their campaign moving forward.
They made an impressive start against Sunrisers Hyderabad and reached 129/2 after 10 overs, but an unexpected middle-order collapse saw them fall short by 12 runs and leave their hosts rueing their ineffective performance. It would be preferable for them to put this chapter behind them quickly.
Rishabh Pant will look to end his poor run of form with the bat and score more runs for Kolkata Knight Riders to remain competitive in their race for top honours.
Ajinkya Rahane and Angrish Raghuvanshi have provided consistent middle order performances but require more offensive punch in their top order batting group.
LSG have enjoyed mixed fortunes so far in IPL 2025, recording two wins and two defeats and sitting sixth on the table. Their recent triumph against Mumbai Indians was thrilling; now LSG are hoping to replicate such performances when hosting KKR on April 15.
They boast an experienced yet talented squad with KL Rahul, Quinton de Kock, Sunil Narine, Marcus Stoinis providing power with his ball.
Rinku Singh and Andre Russell will provide support in the lower order, with pace bowlers Moeen Ali, Mitchell Starc and Ravi Bishnoi helping.
KKR spinners such as Varun Chakravarthy and Spencer Johnson should prove difficult for any opponent to beat. Their match against LSG promises to be an exciting one at Eden Gardens in Kolkata; live streaming will also be provided on Star Sports and Hotstar.

LSG came away victorious against KKR in an intense encounter at Eden Gardens after Nicholas Pooran led them to 238/3 and held firm to prevent KKR’s late charge in the final over. It marked KKR’s second loss in four games – they have yet to gain their first victory of 2019.
Quinton de Kock and Sunil Narine began the innings well, racing to 90/1 after only the powerplay had concluded, appearing poised for a comfortable chase.
However, then came Digvesh Rathi who broke KKR’s momentum with successive dismissals of Narine (in one over) before ultimately taking control in 13 overs for almost below run-rate bowling figures compared with earlier innings.
Ajinkya Rahane and Angkrish Raghuvanshi provided solid performances from the middle for KKR but they require better starts from their openers as well as more time for Andre Russell. Furthermore, consistency should be improved both with bat and bowl.
On a slow pitch, a good start for both sides will be crucial, while who handles spin better will decide the outcome of this match.
LSG have struggled throughout their season but must find consistency and find ways to score against spin. Their top order remains strong but needs more runs scored against it in order to compete successfully against LSG’s strong opposition.
KKR are in search of some momentum after an impressive run to begin this season, featuring quality across all departments.
Their bowlers have been top tier so far while their batting needs to find its groove more quickly without Chris Lynn present.
