Both sides have a similar kind of start this season as they lost their first tournament match while playing an ‘away from home’ fixture. In their second fixture, they made a comeback to register a win. The only difference between them is BLR lost their third game against KOL to slip back to the losing pavilion. 

Their arch-rivals, Kolkata, registered yet another thumping win at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium to keep up with their winning streak. The home side batting first, posted only 182 runs which were chased down with ease by the Shreyas Iyer-led side. KOL under the mentorship of Gautam Gambhir. The home side would hope to make a comeback with their key player Virat Kohli in sublime form to recover their losses and get a higher position in the league table. 

On the other side, Lucknow will be flying high in confidence with their recent victory against Dhawan’s Punjab. KL Rahul-led Lucknow has unveiled a massive talent in their last played game. Mayank Yadav, the right-arm pacer has become the new pace sensation due to his deadly speed and timely variations.
