LSG vs KKR LIVE Score, IPL 2026: The second half of Super Sunday sends us back to the lower end of the IPL 2026 standings, where both Lucknow and Kolkata are staring at the same uncomfortable reality—this has been a difficult phase for them so far. KKR have finally opened their account, edging past RR with the help of a chance that was missed earlier in the contest. LSG, meanwhile, started brightly but have since slid sharply, losing each of their last four matches in a row. With both sides currently sitting just outside the bottom bracket—at 9th and 10th—the gap between them and the playoff contenders has been widening, leaving many to believe their postseason hopes are already fading. Yet the IPL has repeatedly shown that time can still run in your favour as long as there is still a mathematical route to qualification.
For either team, the path forward will demand a strong reset—finding motivation and producing performances with the kind of consistency that has been missing. That turnaround begins at the Ekana Stadium in Lucknow, where both campaigns get underway in earnest. KKR arrive after a welcome pause, having had a week off following their first victory, and they will be looking to carry the momentum from that result into this game. The fresh schedule also offers them a chance to assess exactly what their XI needs to deliver to move closer to stability.
For LSG, the four-match losing streak is the biggest cause for concern. The talent in their squad has not yet translated into the impact it is capable of, but there have been signs of improvement—especially in their bowling. Mohammed Shami and Prince Yadav have been delivering consistently, putting LSG in a position to remain competitive even when results have not followed. With this match, Lucknow have an opportunity to climb to six points and get back within reach of the teams around them. For KKR, the situation is even more pressing: winning is effectively mandatory if they want to keep their own campaign alive.
