LSG vs KKR LIVE score, IPL 2026: Lucknow Super Giants aim to snap losing streak as Knight Riders chase momentum boost

LSG vs KKR IPL 2026 LIVE score: The 38th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 brings together ninth-placed Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) and tenth-placed Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow on Sunday (April 26). With the match starting at 7:30 PM IST, this night game offers a rare chance for revival for both sides.

LSG's campaign has been hampered by inconsistent batting, though their Powerplay bowling remains elite. Key assets include in-form all-rounder Mitchell Marsh, captain Rishabh Pant, explosive finisher Nicholas Pooran, and a pace unit led by Mohammed Shami, Mayank Yadav, and emerging star Prince Yadav.

KKR, meanwhile, arrive with fresh confidence after their first win of the season and the timely arrival of Sri Lankan pacer Matheesha Pathirana. Their spin duo of Sunil Narine and Varun Chakravarthy will be pivotal on a black-soil Ekana pitch that offers early bounce for pacers before gripping for spinners in the middle overs. Captain Ajinkya Rahane, Angkrish Raghuvanshi, and finisher Rinku Singh lead a batting lineup that has shown flashes of brilliance but lacks consistency.
