KKR vs CSK Team Previews

Kolkata Knight Riders

The Kolkata Knight Riders are coming into this contest on the back of a hard-fought win over the Rajasthan Royals. As a result, the team has climbed up to the 6^th place on the table and is still in the race for the playoffs.

Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Sunil Narine will once again open the batting for KKR in this match. Both players are known for their explosive batting and will look to give the team a strong start. Angkrish Raghuvanshi has been pretty solid in the middle order and has been a perfect partner for Ajinkya Rahane. The duo is the leading run-scorer for the team.

While the form of Venkatesh Iyer remains a concern, the fans would have been delighted to see Andre Russell score a brisk half-century in the previous match and play an important role in the team’s win over RR.

With Moeen Ali back in the playing XI, KKR has plenty of depth in its batting. Moeen will also support Varun Chakravarthy and Sunil Narine in the spin department. The former is the leading wicket-taker for the team this season. Vaibhav Arora and Harshit Rana will lead the attack with the new ball and have picked up 13 wickets each.

Chennai Super Kings

The Chennai Super Kings’ poor run in this season of the IPL continues with their latest loss against RCB on Saturday. With that loss, CSK has lost 4 matches on the trot and is placed at the bottom of the table.

While Shaik Rasheed’s poor form at the top of the order seems to have no end, Ayush Mhatre played a brilliant knock in the match against RCB on Saturday, scoring the first half-century of his IPL career. CSK needs the opening pair to give them a strong start.

The middle order too has struggled to get going. While Shivam Dube and Ravindra Jadeja have played a couple of decent knocks, that has had little impact on the team’s fortunes. The others in the batting line-up include Dewald Brevis, Sam Curran, and MS Dhoni, who provide plenty of depth.

The bowlers have fared better in terms of wickets, with Noor Ahmad being the team’s leading wicket-taker. Ravindra Jadeja will support him in the spin department. The two seamers, Khaleel Ahmed and Matheesha Pathirana have picked up 26 wickets between them but have been quite expensive.

Chennai Super Kings Expected Playing 11

Shaik Rasheed, Ayush Mhatre, Shivam Dube, Ravindra Jadeja, MS Dhoni (C & WK), Sam Curran, Dewald Brevis, Deepak Hooda, Noor Ahmad, Khaleel Ahmed, Matheesha Pathirana

KKR vs CSK Toss Prediction

6 of the last 10 matches played at Eden Gardens were won while batting first. While in 8 of those games, the team winning the toss has opted to field first, we feel that batting first might be a better option here.

Pitch Report and Weather Conditions

The Eden Gardens has offered some excellent batting surfaces this season and we can expect another flat pitch for this match. The stadium has hosted 6 games so far this year and that has formed some rough spots on both sides of the stumps. The spinners are likely to get some turn if they try to aim for these patches. It has been raining in Kolkata over the last few days and there will be some moisture in the pitch as well, allowing the ball to skid.

The par score here this season has been around 200. The weather in Kolkata is likely to remain overcast till Wednesday and there is a high probability that we may see some interruptions or delays due to rain. There is also a chance that the game could be shortened.

KKR vs CSK: Who Will Win?

We are backing the Kolkata Knight Riders to win this match. While CSK has historically performed well against KKR, their form this year has been far from perfect. The team has failed to perform well as a unit and seems to be pretty low on confidence. KKR aren’t consistent as well, but with a spot in the playoffs on the line, we expect them to put their 100% on the field.

KKR vs CSK win percentage stands at 58% in favor of KKR.
