LSG vs KKR Match Preview:

Lucknow's advantage is that all the players have collectively won the games for the team. Yes, KL Rahul has been brilliant at the top but has got good enough support from the rest of the batters as well. You can't pinpoint that someone isn't doing his role properly. Marcus Stoinis is the potential game-changer for Lucknow. 

The bowling has been brilliant as well. Krunal Pandya has been economical while Ravi Bishnoi is the attacking spinner. Avesh Khan might come back into the playing XI in place of Krishnappa Gowtham. Mohsin Khan is been chipping with wickets as well. 

Kolkata's middle order has started to work. Shreyas Iyer, Nitish Rana, and Rinku Singh have been brilliant in the last few games. Andre Russell is always a threat to the opposition; be it batting or bowling. 

Tim Southee has done decently well to bowl the tough overs and chip in with wickets. Sunil Narine has been economical. Umesh Yadav will be the X-factor.
