Kolkata Knight Riders will lock horns against Lucknow Super Giants in the 28th match of the IPL 2024 at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata. After losing their first match in the tournament against CSK in away conditions, the winning momentum for KKR got stalled, but they will be back at home in their familiar surroundings, looking to deliver a better performance against their upcoming opponents. On the other side, LSG have registered three wins on the spin in the IPL 2024, and with that, they will be quite a tough outfit for KKR to play against. Pitch Report The pitch for the first match of the IPL 2024 season at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata produced a high scoring thriller, in which the home team won on the last ball. The average first innings score at this venue in the tournament history is 164, which might not prove to be enough for either Kolkata Knight Riders or Lucknow Super Giants to defend, since the pitch conditions are known to favour the batters a lot more than the bowlers in recent seasons.
