Weather forecast for RR vs LSG on Thursday
Rain is once again likely to play a spoilsport in Kolkata as the Knight Riders lock horns with the Lucknow Super Giants on Thursday. It was raining in the City of Joy in the morning but is expected to come to a halt before the match. The sky is expected to clear during the evening and there are 0% chances of rain during the match hours. In addition to it, the temperature is expected to range between 29 degrees to 24 degree celsius during the game.
Talking about both the teams, KKR are in poor form this season and have a depleted bowling department due to injuries. Earlier during their washed-out game, Varun Chakravarthy and Sunil Narine were out due to hand injury and illness, respectively. However, there is a positive update for the side as according to reports, Cameron Green is likely to bowl against the LSG.
