Summary of this article
LSG have won the toss and elected to field first
LSG have lost their last four matches in IPL 2026
LSG beat KKR in the last-over thriller when they last met in this season
Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) will cross swords with Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in a bottom of the table clash of the Indian Premier League 2026 at the Ekana Stadium on Sunday, April 26.
After a good start to the tournament, LSG have gone completely off track and lost four matches on the trot to find themselves at the 9th spot in the points table with only two wins in seven matches.
However, they'll be heartened by the fact that their last win came against the same opposition, when Mukul Chaudhary pulled off a thriller with a fiery 54 not out from 27 balls and took his team over the line, while chasing 182 runs.
While LSG's bowling has fared well in the tournament so far, the likes of Rishabh Pant and Nicholas Pooran have to fire in the batting department, if LSG want to end their losing streak.
On the other hand, KKR, who are at the bottom of the table, finally registered their first win of the season in their last match. KKR are at the bottom of the points table with only one win from seven matches, and their chances of qualifying remain quite slim, but they would look to take one match at a time and win every match they play from here.
