Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) meet Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in the 68th game of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 at Eden Gardens in Kolkata on Saturday (May 20). The game, the second of a doubleheader, will be crucial, keeping the playoffs scenario in mind.Lucknow are third in the points table, with 15 points from 13 games. A win for them on Saturday will confirm their berth in the playoffs. In case of a loss, they will have to hope for other results to go their way. LSG will be confident, having won their last two games. In their previous game, they got the better of Mumbai Indians by five runs.Kolkata, meanwhile, are seventh in the points table. They have 12 points from 13 games, but KKR have a very slim chance of qualifying. Even if they finish on 14 points and are in a race with a few other teams, they are unlikely to make the cut due to their extremely poor net run rate of -0.256.Today's KKR vs LSG toss resultKKR have won the toss and opted to bowl first.
