KKR vs LSG Match Prediction and Winner Prediction, Match 21: Who will win today’s IPL match?

Kolkata Knight Riders will be facing Lucknow Super Giants at the iconic Eden Gardens in match no. 21 of the Indian Premier League 2025. The defending champions KKR had a poor start to the season as they lost the first game to RCB. However, they bounce back in style against RR by winning the game. Quinton de Kock's unbeaten knock of 97 runs helped the team to win by eight wickets. But they could not keep the momentum against the Mumbai Indians. MI bowlers were all over the KKR batters as they scored only 116 runs and lost their third game by eight wickets. 

While facing SRH at home, the team claimed their second win of the season as Venkatesh Iyer and Angkrish Raghuvanshi stood strong to help the batting line-up avoid collapsing. They both helped the team to score 200 runs, and in the bowling department Varun Chakaravarthy took three wickets as SRH failed to get the upper hand in the game. As KKR will be facing Lucknow Super Giants at home, Ajinkya Rahane needs the team to repeat the same thing they did against SRH. 

On the other hand, Lucknow Super Giants are coming from a win to face KKR. During the game against Mumbai Indians, Mitchell Marsh looked in great touch, and the team needed him to do the same against KKR. He scored 60 runs in the power play and smashed bowlers all over the ground. Later, Aiden Markram did the same thing as he went on to smash 53 runs. The main problem with LSG is that Rishabh Pant is failing to lead the foundation set by the openers. He is yet to score big runs for LSG, and the game against KKR is his chance to get runs and define his price tag for the team.

IPL 2025 KKR vs LSG Today’s Match Predictions – Match 21

Most Runs

Nicholas Pooran looks in great form with the bat. So far, he is the leading run-scorer in the ongoing season and gives strong support to the top order. In 4 matches, he scored 201 runs and is one of the reasons for LSG to get respectable runs on the scoreboard. Even though in the last game he got out on 12 runs, he will be a dangerous batter in the game against KKR as the pitch helps the batter to score runs. 

Most Wickets

Shardul Thakur will be the most threatening bowler for KKR. Since coming into the IPL as a replacement, he has been in good form and has given the key breakthroughs. Shardul Thakur is very well-known to the Eden Garden wicket as he has played with KKR. With his variations and pace, it will be hard for KKR batters to hit him. 

Player of the Match Prediction

Right now, Mitchell Marsh looks dangerous with the bat. In the last game against MI, he smashed 60 runs from 31 balls. He gives LSG a good start and makes full use of power play. He can be a game-changer for the team and can easily take bowlers. Mitchell Marsh will hope to keep his form against KKR and help give a good start. 

KKR vs LSG Match Prediction

In their last meeting in the IPL 2024, the Kolkata Knight Riders easily defeated the Lucknow Super Giants by 80 runs at home, and they will look to repeat the same. Nicholas Pooran and Mitchell Marsh have the most batting burden for Lucknow. If they fail to fire, everything might go haywire very fast. Kolkata Knight Riders have the advantage because they are playing at home. But KKR is having a problem in keeping form, and itis  anticipated that Lucknow Super Giants would defeat KKR in this game given the batting lineup.
