CSK vs KOL IPL Cricket Betting Tips and Live Score: Match 38, Chennai Super Kings vs Kolkata Knight Riders

CSK vs KOL Prediction: There was a change in script yesterday in the IPL as the two games saw two sub-par totals being defended. Delhi Capitals huffed and puffed to 156-6 before restricting Rajasthan Royals to just 121. The second game at Sharjah was supposed to be a high-scoring one. However, it turned out to be anything but that as Punjab Kings defended a paltry 125.

Chennai Super Kings are set to lock horns with Kolkata Knight Riders in match 38 of the IPL at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi. It is the first game of a doubleheader on Super Sunday. Chennai can go top of the table with a win here while Kolkata would be looking to solidify a top-four finish.
