KKR vs CSK Prediction & Betting Tips, IPL 2020
KKR might have lost their last game against the Delhi Capitals but the way they went about their business was truly outstanding. Chasing a target of 229, KKR almost created history, falling short by a margin of 19 runs. Now, with two wins in 4 games, they need a win to solidify their place in the points table. KKR was really struggling with their batting in their first few games but their batsmen, in the last two matches have made a real statement. The only problem for KKR will be the form of their skipper, Dinesh Karthik who has failed to impress in the tournament so far. Andre Russell too has not exploded yet. However, they are class players and can’t be kept quiet for too long. In the bowling department they’re doing fine with young guns, Shivam Mavi and Kamlesh Nagarkoti beautifully complementing Pat Cummins. Sunil Narine too has been hard to get away.
Chennai Super Kings in their last game looked a team from a parallel universe. A 10 wicket victory will be a huge morale booster for a team that hasn’t looked at his best. Even though they won their last game, their middle order is a worry for them. Players like Kedar Jadhav, MS Dhoni have looked completely out of touch. They, however, will be jubilant seeing Shane Watson back among the runs. He along with Faf du Plessis, who is in ominous touch, and Ambati Rayudu will hold the key for CSK. Only if other players can chip in with few runs, CSK can be very difficult to beat. In the bowling department, they look pretty settled with Deepak Chahar and Shardul Thakur bowling splendidly well. Bravo has been outstanding post his return and so does Sam Curran. Overall, it’s all building up for an enthralling contest. KKR though will be slight favourites to win the match.

KKR Team News
KKR too doesn’t need to make any changes as the team has gelled well together. Earlier, there were talks of KKR dropping Nitish Rana from the team but the batsman responded well with a fluent 58 in the last game. KKR too are expected to play the same team.
KKR Key Players
- Eoin Morgan: Match by match, Eoin Morgan is getting in the zone of his own. He has played several quick knocks in the tournament but hasn’t quite got a big one. He could explode against CSK in IPL 2020
- Nitish Rana: Nitish Rana made an impressive 58 in his last game against DC. He looked in terrific touch and can be backed to play another big knock against CSK
- Sunil Narine: Sunil Narine is the most valuable player in the KKR set up. With the bat or with the ball, he’s a definite match winner for Dinesh Karthik. Expect him to come good against CSK.
KKR Team Form
With 2 wins in 4 games, KKR have had a mixed tournament so far.
KKR Predicted Playing 11
Shubhman Gill, Sunil Narine, Nitish Rana, Andre Russell, Dinesh Karthik (c&wk), Eoin Morgan, Pat Cummins, Rahul Tripathi, Kamlesh Nagarkoti, Shivam Mavi, Varun Chakravarthy

CSK Team News
CSK is a team that likes to back its players. With a win their previous game, MS Dhoni wouldn’t want to tinker much with the winning combination. They are expected to come up with the same team.
CSK Key Players
- Faf du Plessis: Faf du Plessis has looked class apart in the tournament. An average of 92 with three fifties in five games, he’s done everything you can ask from a player. Expect him to go bonkers against Kolkata Knight Riders.
- Shane Watson: The big man finally found his mojo back with an unbeaten 83 off 53. The thing with Watson is that on his day, he’ll win you matches on his own. He now has some form behind his back and will be looking to carry it in the next match against KKR
- Dwayne Bravo: Dwayne Bravo have been superb post his return. The pitch at Abu Dhabi is a slow wicket and Bravo with his cutters can be deadly for KKR.

After losing three back to back matches, Chennai finally arrived to thrash Punjab in their previous game.
CSK Predicted Playing 11
Faf du Plessis, Shane Watson, Ambati Rayudu, Kedar Jadhav, MS Dhoni, Ravindra Jadeja, Sam Curran, Dwayne Bravo, Deepak Chahar, Shardul Thakur, Piyush Chawla
