Kolkata Knight Riders vs Chennai Super Kings Predictions

The Knight Riders are in a battle for the playoffs with six other teams, having won their last two matches in a row. They have the form to beat CSK, who are on a four-match losing streak.

Kolkata Knight Riders’ Angkrish Raghuvanshi has scored 37, 27*, 44 & 44 in his last 4 innings.
Kolkata Knight Riders’ Andre Russell hit 52 of his 57 runs against Rajasthan Royals in boundaries.
Chennai Super Kings’ Ayush Mhatre hit five sixes in his innings of 94 against RCB.
Chennai Super Kings’ Ravindra Jadeja has scored 53*, 21 & 71* in his last 4 innings.

Head-to-Head

Kolkata Knight Riders have won three and lost two of their last five matches against Chennai Super Kings.

Kolkata Knight Riders Form

Kolkata Knight Riders made it two wins from their last two matches when they beat Rajasthan Royals by one run.

The Knight Riders’ top-order performed well to reach 206/4, with Andre Russell’s undefeated 57 off 25 balls playing an invaluable role in passing 200.

Moeen Ali (2/43), Harshit Rana (2/41) and Varun Chakravarthy (2/32) bowled superbly to reduce the Royals to 8/2 and 71/5. The Royals’ lower-order rose to the challenge but the Knight Riders’ attack held firm to secure a sensational one-run triumph.

Kolkata Knight Riders Team News

The Knight Riders have to win all of their remaining matches to stay in the playoff race, but even that might not be enough for them to book their spot. The side is playing consistently, so they are unlikely to make any changes for this clash.

Chennai Super Kings Form

Chennai Super Kings suffered their fourth defeat in four matches when they lost to Royal Challengers Bengaluru by two runs.

The Super Kings kept high-riding RCB under control, before an astonishing blast in the final three overs lifted them to 213/5 off their 20 overs. Matheesha Pathirana (3/36) returned the best figures with the ball for the Super Kings.

Super Kings opener Ayush Mhatre (94) set the foundation for a strong chase, while Ravindra Jadeja’s late 77* took them to the brink of success, only to fall two runs short with five wickets in hand.

Chennai Super Kings Team News

The Super Kings will be hoping their 17-year-old star batter Ayush Mhatre can continue his superb form against RCB as they look to end a dismal season with some morale-boosting wins.

Verdict

Kolkata Knight Riders v Chennai Super Kings - T20

I am backing Kolkata Knight Riders to win. I am also backing Ayush Mhatre to top score for Kolkata Knight Riders.

Ayush Mhatre is a good bet to top score for the Chennai Super Kings.
