Fantasy tips for Match 15 between Kolkata Knight Riders and Lucknow Super Giants.

Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) will be up against each other in match no.15 of the IPL 2026. Check out our KKR vs LSG Dream11 prediction for this contest, to be hosted at Eden Gardens in Kolkata.

The Knight Riders have just one point from three games in the tournament, courtesy of a washout against Punjab Kings. They were in a critical spot with Finn Allen and Cameron Green back in the hut with 25 on the board in 3.4 overs. But rain denied any further play. KKR were without Varun Chakravarthy and Sunil Narine in that game, and the duo is expected to be back.

Lucknow Super Giants lost their first game but bounced back to beat Sunrisers Hyderabad by five wickets in the second. Mohammed Shami starred with 2 for 9 in four overs to restrict the opponents to 156. Aiden Markram scored 45 off 27 while Rishabh Pant remained unbeaten on 68 off 50 to get his side over the line.
