Chennai Super Kings vs Kolkata Knight Riders Team Preview

Chennai Super Kings

In their most recent game, Chennai Super Kings defeated the team at the bottom of the standings, Delhi Capitals, but we anticipate Kolkata Knight Riders to give them a harder challenge. If the hosts play at their best, they should be okay.  

We anticipate the home team to use the same starting XI for this game due to Chennai Super Kings’ recent victories. The squad’s players have benefited from the selection process consistency, and everyone is aware of their place within the group.  

Kolkata Knight Riders

Even though Kolkata Knight Riders are further down the table, they are still in striking distance of the play-off berths, and a victory for them will bring them even closer. They will arrive in Chennai genuinely believing they can prevail.   

Vaibhav Arora was replaced by Anukul Roy in the Kolkata Knight Riders’ only lineup adjustment for their final game on a dry field at Eden Gardens. Before this game, the Kolkata Knight Riders have no fresh injuries.

MA Chidambaram Stadium

We anticipate that both teams will want to bat first after the Chennai Super Kings won the toss, elected to bat first, and went on to win the game at this location last time around.   

There could not be any dew later in the night because to the partly overcast weather.

Even though the pitch was level for the majority of the season, we saw several high-scoring games and even a 200-run total that was successfully chased down. It has been slow lately, but spinners have been able to receive some assistance from the surface.
