🏏Match Prediction
The 21th match of TATA IPL 2025 will showcase a high-stakes clash between Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) at the iconic Eden Gardens, Kolkata. KKR, with home ground support and explosive players like Andre Russell and Sunil Narine, will look to break their losing streak against LSG. Meanwhile, LSG, bolstered by their new skipper Rishabh Pant and consistent performers like Nicholas Pooran and Ravi Bishnoi, aim to continue their dominance over the Knight Riders.
KKR’s experienced leadership under Ajinkya Rahane and a balanced squad featuring Russell’s firepower and Narine’s spin may give them a much-needed edge at home. However, LSG’s top-order firepower and tactical bowling unit make them tough challengers, especially with Rishabh Pant hungry to lead from the front.
