Kolkata Knight Riders need to win big to stay in the hunt
Chennai Super Kings have had a wretched tournament so far but had some redemption last game against RCB. CSK’s batting line-up finally has a settled look to it and the fact that a young Ruturaj Gaikwad stepped up will give MS Dhoni and his team confidence heading into this game. They have odds of 2.00 to win this fixture.
The Knight Riders lost a fixture to Kings XI Punjab last game and are struggling to identify their best top-order. They have been living off five frontline batters and the strategy has backfired twice in the last three games. KKR are striving to qualify and are likely to make a few team changes. That might mean the likes of Nikhil Naik or Kuldeep Yadav getting games. They have better odds of 1.80 to win this game.

Overall record favours Chennai Super Kings
Overall records show that Chennai Super Kings have reigned supreme over Kolkata Knight Riders with a 14-9 win-loss ratio over the years in the league’s history. However, most of that domination came in the early stages of the IPL. Since 2014, the teams have shared one win apiece in most years of head to head matches. Kolkata Knight Riders have managed just 9 wins in all these years against the Chennai franchise.
RECOMMENDED BET: Kolkata have been the better team in the season as the points table show and have odds of 1.80 to win this game
Even since 2018, Chennai Super Kings have won thrice and lost just twice to Kolkata Knight Riders. Earlier in the season when these sides met, however, Kolkata won in convincing fashion.
TIP: Kolkata have the more reliable six hitting resources and have odds of 2.05 to hit the highest number of sixes.
Keep an eye on…
Sunil Narine: While his form is questionable, Narine still poses a major threat to Chennai’s top-order batsmen and a potential threat to their spinners in the middle overs with his ability to tonk big sixes and score runs in a jiffy at whatever stage in the game.
Faf du Plessis: Chennai’s best batsman this season has been the South African who is in form at the top of the order. The former Proteas skipper has racked up 401 runs, the fifth most by any player and has made some handy knocks from the top. He will look to sign off from the tournament with a few memorable performances.
