Preview
In the 15th match of the Indian Premier League 2026, Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) will take on Lucknow Super Giants (LSG). Kolkata Knight Riders haven’t had a good start to the season, losing their first two matches.

Batting first, Sunrisers Hyderabad posted a total of 156 runs. Chasing this, Lucknow got a good start as Aiden Markram scored 45 runs off just 27 balls while Rishabh Pant played a match-winning knock of 68 runs off just 50 balls to get a comfortable 5-wicket win.
Apart from this, the bowling from Lucknow Super Giants was also excellent, especially by Mohammed Shami, who took two wickets for 8 runs in four overs. Additionally, Prince Yadav and Avesh Khan were also successful in getting two wickets each, due to which the Sunrisers failed to score a big score.
