Having started the IPL 2026 season with back-to-back defeats to the Mumbai Indians and Sunrisers Hyderabad, Ajinkya Rahane-led KKR were also in trouble against the Punjab Kings in a rain-affected game at home, before the weather forced the sides to share the spoils in an unfinished match.
Rishabh Pant’s LSG also got off to a poor start, losing to the Delhi Capitals at Ekana, but they made a comeback against SRH, beating Ishan Kishan’s side in the final over by five wickets.
LSG also go into the contest with a better head-to-head record. They have won four out of the six times the sides have faced each other, while KKR have won only twice.
