Amid a rain threat, Kolkata Knight Riders and Lucknow Super Giants will clash in the 15th match of the IPL 2026 on Thursday, April 9. After a washout last game in Kolkata, fans are hoping for a full 20-over match at Eden Gardens.

Rain has played a big part in the last two IPL games, washing the KKR vs PBKS match in Kolkata and shortening the RR vs MI match in Guwahati. So, all eyes will be on the weather when Ajinkya Rahane's Knight Riders face Rishabh Pant's Super Giants at Eden Gardens today.

KKR are searching for their first win of the season and will be hoping for a home advantage against LSG. The hosts suffered a huge 65-run defeat against SRH at home in their second game, and were stumbling at 25/2 before the rain washed out the last match against PBKS.

On the other hand, LSG registered their first win of the season in the last match against SRH. However, they took 19.5 overs to chase down a 157-run target in Hyderabad. Rishabh Pant played a brilliant knock, but was also criticized for not finishing the game early.

Both teams will look to end their early-season struggles with a convincing win at Eden Gardens on Thursday, but are facing tough playing conditions amid a rain threat in Kolkata.
