VIVO IPL 2019 | Match 29: KKR vs CSK Match Prediction

KKR vs CSK Match Prediction: It will be number one against the number two on Sunday. Chennai Super Kings are at the top of the table with 6 wins in seven matches, while Kolkata are second in the points table with four wins out of six.

Chennai Super Kings have been the best side in the tournament so far. The Men in Yellow registered their sixth win on Thursday, beating Rajasthan Royals by four wickets, while Kolkata Knight Riders, on the other hand, didn’t have a great outing in their last match, having lost to Delhi Capitals on Friday.

Kolkata will be having home advantage, however, considering Dhoni’s fan base, CSK aren’t short of fans anywhere in India. Last time when both these two teams met, CSK won that match comfortably by seven wickets. Dhoni and Co. bundled out KKR for just 109 as it will be interesting to see if Kolkata make it 1-1 or CSK continue to dominate in the tournament.

Pitch Conditions

KKR vs CSK Match Prediction: The pitch at the Eden Gardens, Kolkata has a history of producing spin-friendly wickets. The ball skids on to the bat in the initial overs, but as the game progresses the pitch becomes dead and become friends for batters. This is the same ground, where Harbhajan Singh took the famous hat trick against Australia. Coincidentally, Harbhajan Singh is also a part of CSK squad this time around.

If we closely look at the 3 matches played at the Eden Gardens, Kolkata Knight Riders has dominated the proceedings and is looking to so in the upcoming matches. Beating them on the home turf is a hard nut to crack.
