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