Head to Head
LSG have the better bowling attack, the better recent record in this fixture and a team in better shape so they are the clear pick here.
LSG lead the all-time series 4-2 across six meetings and hold a 2-1 record at this venue. KKR have lost both completed games this season, conceding in excess of 220 in each, and their bowling attack remains severely undermanned with Pathirana, Akash Deep and Harshit Rana all unavailable. Varun Chakravarthy is also in doubt with a finger injury. Narine is expected back which helps, but KKR are a long way short of a settled unit.
LSG meanwhile won their last game comfortably against SRH with Mohammed Shami running through the top order. Shami has an economy rate of 4.00 in powerplay overs this season and has taken a pole with the first ball of his first two games. He returns to his Bengal home ground against a KKR top order that has leaked six powerplay wickets this season despite scoring at 11.29 an over. That combination of fragility and aggression is exactly the kind of opposition he thrives against.
Back the visitors to have too much firepower.
Best Bet
Shami has three wickets in two games at a brilliant economy of 4.62 this season. Against a KKR top order low on confidence and missing several of their best batters, he is the standout bowling pick of the match. Rahane has never been dismissed by him in the IPL, but the rest of the top order is far less comfortable against this kind of early movement.
Value Bet
Pant scored a match-winning half-century at No. 3 against SRH and looks to have found his best position in this LSG lineup. He is coming up against a KKR spin attack that is undermanned and out of form. On a flat Eden Gardens surface, Pant is well placed for a big score.
Same Game Multi
LSG H2H / Pant & Mitchell Marsh 20+ Runs / Shami 2+ Wickets
