KKR vs LSG Live Score: Here’s what Phil Salt said before the match

“I’m enjoying it, we’ve been travelling nicely in the competition, looking forward to another win at home today. I reckon it suits our line-up, we bat down to 9 and 10, everyone plays for the team and the positivity blends itself through the group. The conditions here are slightly different to the away games, I’m already feeling like melting, but the conditions will hopefully suit Narine and Varun. We’re one of the stronger sides in the competition, but we’ll need to play well right through, especially during the latter half of the tournament.”

KKR vs LSG Live Score: Pitch report

“It’s been 22 days since KKR played at home, 63m and 66m square boundaries while the straight boundary is at 73m. It’s very very hot today, the wicket looks fantastic, it looks good for batting and it should remain consistent. One of the fastest outfields in the country, the batters getting in can definitely cash in. Lots of runs on offer, the batters getting in can enjoy themselves, reckon Samuel Badree and Michael Clarke,” in their pitch report.
