CHE vs KOL MPL Prediction Tips, CSK vs KKR MPL Team, Captain, Best Picks for Today’s IPL Match

CHE vs KOL MPL Team: The Match 49 of the Indian Premier League 2020 will witness Chennai Super Kings lock horns against Kolkata Knight Riders. The CSK team is out of the playoffs contention, still will be upbeat after the win in their last league match against RCB. The youngster, Gaikwad stirred the team’s ship and scored a match-winning knock. Along with Plessis, the team got off to a good start that transferred the confidence to the other players. In the middle-order, Rayudu and Dhoni played good knocks to register a much-needed win. While Curran and Chahar were among the pick of the bowlers that helped to contain the opposition batsmen.

On the other side, the Kolkata team have seen all the ups and downs in this season. In the last match, they lost to Punjab by 8 wickets. The batting unit has not been consistent and has given away their wickets easily in succession. The only respite for the KOL team has been the performances of Gill and Morgan, who have helped the team in crucial situations. While the other batsmen have not contributed enough to enhance the team’s confidence. While Narine and Ferguson have shown their prowess with the bat, they would like to contribute with the ball to pick key wickets. The players like Cummins and Chakravarthy need to be consistent to provide break-through that can ultimately help the team to make it to the play-offs. It would be interesting to see which team can register a win in the CHE vs KOL MPL prediction.

Being at the last in the points table, with Bravo ruled out, No Raina & Watson benched, Dhoni is having his worst time in the IPL. Santner & Tahir are getting to play games now after their season is done and dusted. Gaikwad and Rayudu played really well in the last game and the batting lineup won’t be changed. Watson may come back in place of Sam or Faf. No major changes are expected. Shardul can be back too in place of Monu Kumar.

KOL Team News

Injury update, unavailability: Andre Russel is unfit and doubtful for the game.

Expected Changes and Team Combination:

The team has been riding on luck in this season and will be eager to win this one. After such a decent season, they have looked to be a little lazy recently. The opening duo has failed multiple times and last time they changed the opening partner of Gill with Rana. Tripathi has failed to perform in the last couple of games and he has to get going for KOL to reach the playoffs. DK has had a disastrous IPL season until now, he has failed miserably, and he has been so bad even after stepping down from captaincy which would have given him a slight relief in burden. Lockie & Cummins won’t be changed, as they have been decent. Narine has been decent and not so good. Morgan has been excellent, might not be with the captaincy but he has performed well with the bat when the whole team has failed to impress.

KOL Playing 11 (expected)
Rahul Tripathi
Shubman Gill
Nitish Rana

CHE vs KOL Today Match Prediction 

Kolkata will win this match. In the last match, the middle order wasn’t good and also collapsed at the top. Both teams have not been the best in this season. KOL is doing everything to qualify for the playoffs. The batting performance wasn’t really well in the last game, but the bowling and fielding were decent. It will be tough for CHE to win against a team like KOL, who is complete in all departments and can trouble the opposition only if they perform up to their standards. If the KOL team which wins in the CHE vs KOL Today match prediction, they can inch closer to the playoffs spot.
