Match Preview
The Chennai Super Kings will want the season to end as soon as possible. With only 2 wins in 11 matches, they are at the bottom of the points table and are already out of the race for the playoffs. However, the team will want to end the season on a high and get back to winning ways.
The Kolkata Knight Riders survived a scare against the Rajasthan Royals on Sunday as they managed to win a last-ball thriller. As a result, the Kolkata Knight Riders remain in the race for the playoffs and a win here will further strengthen its chances of making it there.

Pitch Report & Weather Conditions
The Eden Gardens has seen an average first-inning score of around 200 runs. The surface here is flat and hard and there is likely to be plenty of pace and bounce on offer. However, there are likely to be some rough patches outside the leg stump and off stump that could help the slower bowlers. There has been plenty of rain in Kolkata over the last week and there is a forecast for more rain in the coming days. It wouldn’t be surprising if we saw a shortened match on Wednesday.
