Pre-Match Analysis:

Chennai Super Kings are in a very good space at the moment having won back-to-back matches against Mumbai Indians and Delhi Capitals. The experience batters are stepping up in every game and the bowlers are just following the strategies set by their skipper MS Dhoni, which all adds to their success. Conway and Gaikwad duo are transforming themselves as one of the best opening pairs having scored more than 800 runs between them in this IPL. Pathirana and Deshpande have been splendid with the ball picking up 13 and 19 wickets respectively. Not to forget Ravindra Jadeja’s all-round contributions. With 7 wins, 4 losses, and no result they are at the 2nd spot in the standings with 15 points.

The end is near for Kolkata Knight Riders after they lost badly against Rajasthan Royals in their previous game by 9 wickets. A thunderstorm from Yashasvi Jaiswal took the game completely away from them who hammered 98* runs. Initially, they were trapped in the spin web as Yuzvendra Chahal claimed 4 wickets. The runs completely dried after the 15th over as they managed to score 149 runs at the end of 20 overs. They lacked a quality experienced seamer right throughout the competition. Spinners Varun Chakravarthy and Suyash Sharma are the only positives in the bowling department. With 5 wins and 7 losses, they are in the 8th spot in the standings with 10 points.
