KKR bundled out for 101.
Lucknow win by massive 75 runs and that will take them to the top of points table.
Is that the match?
Sad scenes if you are a KKR fan as Andre Russell is going back to the hut.
He has been dismissed by Avesh Khan. Leading edge off the pull, goes to Jaspn Holder at third man who takes a very good low catch. Russell scored 45 off 19 balls.
KKR 85/6 (12.3)
Kolkata Knight Riders need 92 runs in 45 balls
Russell fires
Wow, what insane hitting this is as Andre Russell smashes his West Indian teammate for 3 sixes and 1 four in the 9th over. He keeps KKR afloat in chase. Till the time he is there, LSG won't take a sigh of relief.
KKR 64/4 (10)
Kolkata Knight Riders need 113 runs in 60 balls
OUT
This is big, the in-form Nitish Rana is going back as Avesh Khan cleans him up with a perfect yorker. What a delivery from this young bowling machine, who keeps bowling these wonderful spells.
KKR in all sorts of trouble here. Finch back to the hut too.
KKR 25/4 (7)
Kolkata Knight Riders need 152 runs in 78 balls
Big blow to KKR
Shreyas Iyer has fallen and KKR now on back foot in the chase.
He scored just 6 off 9 balls, Chameera with the wicket.
Nitish Rana joins Finch in the middle.
KKR 21/2 (5)
Kolkata Knight Riders need 156 runs in 90 balls
Baba back to the hut!
Mohsin cuts short Baba Indrajith's stay at the crease, strikes in the first over itself. Good catch by Ayush Badoni in the deep as Indarjith mistimed one and it ballooned up in the air.
Captain Shreyas Iyer joins Aaron Finch in the middle.
KKR 0/1 (1.2)
Kolkata Knight Riders need 177 runs
KKR need 177 to win
Despite de Kock's fifty and solid knock from Deepak Hooda, LSG have failed to cross the 200-mark, which was looking very possible till the 12th over. But Krunal, Stoinis, Holder struggled bat for long and smashed big sixes. Stoinis did hit 3 back-to-back sixes but he departed on the next ball.
LSG still have over 170 on the board and their bowlers need to step up now.
LSG 176/7 (20)
OUT!
That's the end of Krunal Pandya as he departs for 25 off 27 balls.
Badoni still there as LSG begin to fizzle out after that brilliant start from de Kock and Hooda.
Need a big outing from Stoinis now.
LSG 123/4 (15)
WICKET!
Deepak Hooda is walking back to the hut after scoring 41 off 27 balls. Andre Russell with the wicket.
KKR have picked two big wickets in form of De Kock and Hooda now. Time to pick a couple more and stop LSG from getting to 200.
LSG 109/3 (12.5)
Fifty for QDK
That is a fine knock from de Kock so far, completes the third century of IPL 2022 off just 27 balls.
Lucknow on top here and KKR under pressure to break this stand between Hooda and de Kock.
LSG 73/1 (7)
De Kock, Hooda steady LSG
QDK and Hooda are forging a good partnership for the second wicket.
KKR need to ensure they come back strongly with a couple of wickets as these two can be dangerous if they stay there for a long time.
LSG have gone past fifty inside the powerplay!
LSG 53/1 (5.1)
Terrible start for Lucknow!
KL Rahul has gone back without scoring a run and without a facing a ball too. Bad calling from Quinton and Rahul responsed but he falls short of the crease by at least two inches and has to go back. The top-scorer of their side is back to the hut and this is a big blow.
LSG 2/1 (1)

Toss Report
Kolkata Knight Riders captain Shreyas Iyer won the toss and opted to field first against Lucknow Super Giants in the 53rd match of IPL 2022 at the MCA Stadium, Pune on Saturday.
Pitch Report by Deep Dasgupta
The average score on this used surface is 170. The two previous games (on the pitch) were played in the first half but the spinners have played a bigger role as the tournament has progressed. There has been more help when the spinners have bowled slower, less than 90kph. The grass has been shaved off, not much grass left and that has exposed the top soil. It is nice and hard but a bit abrasive. It is going to help the spinners a lot more especially with dew not being a factor.
Milestones up for grabs in LSG vs KKR match
- LSG captain KL Rahul need 49 runs to complete 500 runs in IPL 2022.
- KKR skipper Shreyas Iyer is 4 sixes away from 100 IPL sixes.
-
Lucknow Super Giants are likely to make comeback in the playing XI. The pacer was rested in the last game. On the other hand, Kolkata Knight Riders could bring back Pat Cummins by dropping Tim Southee, who was very expensive in the last match.

Hello and welcome to live coverage of Match 53 of IPL 2022 between Lucknow Super Giants vs Kolkata Knight Riders.
Stay tuned for more updates.
A resurgent Kolkata Knight Riders will be wary of the threat posed by Lucknow Super Giants’ in-from skipper KL Rahul when the two sides face off in the IPL here on Saturday.
LSG is sitting in second place with 14 points and is on course to secure a play-offs berth, thanks to a stupendous show by Rahul, who has been their batting mainstay.
Former champions KKR are languishing in the eighth spot with eight points and after four wins from 10 games, a positive result would help them stay afloat in the race for a playoff spot.
