KKR vs CSK Dream11 Match Prediction | Who Will Win Today Match

Chennai, April 09, Tuesday at 08:00 PM IST

The first fixture of Sunday’s doubleheader will be played at Eden Gardens in the evening where Kolkata Knight Riders will be taking on table-toppers Chennai Super Kings. The hosts were at the receiving end when both the teams met previously at M Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai. Playing in the home-conditions, Knight Riders would be looking to avenge their loss and return to winning ways.

Placed at the top, Chennai Super Kings have secured 6 wins in 7 encounters. Their only defeat came against Mumbai Indians in Mumbai and the side is looking well balanced. On the opposite, Kolkata Knight Riders have faced back to back defeats in last two encounters and would be desperate for a win to return to winning ways. Despite posting a good total of 179 runs, KKR faced 7 wickets drubbing at the hands of Delhi Capitals in the last encounter and let’s see if they manage to bounce back against CSK or succumb to their third loss on the trot.

In reply, Chennai chased down the target 17.2 overs with 7 wickets in hand, courtesy Faf du Plessis’ unbeaten 43 off 45 deliveries.

Kolkata: Pitch Report & Venue Stats

The Eden Gardens in Kolkata is amongst the smallest grounds in this season. The average score at this venue in the game so far has been 9 runs per over. The seam bowlers can get a bit of help but will have to be specific with their length. The wicket has grassy tracks so there won’t be much help to spinners and chasing the target will be quite easier in the second innings.

KKR VS CSK  DREAM11 TEAM 

In wicketkeeper, Dhoni will be a better choice as Karthik has looked slightly off colour with the bat in this season. Also, the last time Dhoni played at Eden Gardens, he smashed unbeaten 43. So, he can be the right pick.

In last four innings at Eden, S Raina has scored 31, 84, 14 and 8. Also, Kuldeep Yadav was the bowler who dismissed him in the last two occasions.

Ambati Rayudu has lost his wicket to spinners in last three innings at Eden Gardens

Playing for RR, Watson smashed a ton against KKR in 2015 and in his last outing at Eden Gardens he scored 36 when S Narine got rid of him.

S Gill scored an unbeaten fifty  and guided his side to a win when last time KKR hosted CSK at Eden Gardens

Andre Russell has been in the form of his life and is a must-have option.

As per the stats, spinners especially Kuldeep Yadav and P Chawla have troubled Super Kings at Edem Gardens. However, Kuldeep hasn’t picked many wickets this season but has a wonderful economy.

After toss playing11

Kolkata Knight Riders (Playing XI): Sunil Narine, Chris Lynn, Robin Uthappa, Nitish Rana, Dinesh Karthik(w/c), Andre Russell, Shubman Gill, Piyush Chawla, Kuldeep Yadav, Prasidh Krishna, Harry Gurney

Chennai Super Kings (Playing XI): Shane Watson, Faf du Plessis, Suresh Raina, Ambati Rayudu, Kedar Jadhav, MS Dhoni(w/c), Ravindra Jadeja, Mitchell Santner, Deepak Chahar, Shardul Thakur, Imran Tahir
