The Chennai Super Kings (CSK) are getting ready to play against the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on April 8. CSK will want to recover after losing two games in a row against the Delhi Capitals and the Sunrisers Hyderabad.
In their last match against the Sunrisers Hyderabad, CSK couldn’t score enough runs, finishing with 165 runs, which the Sunrisers chased down with 6 wickets and 18.1 overs to spare.
The absence of Matheesha Pathirana and Mustafizur Rahman affected CSK’s bowling in the last game, but Pathirana might return for the next match.
KKR, meanwhile, has been in great form, winning all three of their previous matches convincingly.
In their last game, they discovered a promising talent in Angkrish Raghuvanshi, who scored a quick 54 off 27 balls. KKR posted a huge total of 272/7 in their 20 overs, with contributions from many players. Narine scored 85 off 39 balls, followed by 41 off 19 balls from Russell.
With strong spinners in their team, KKR will be well-prepared to challenge CSK, especially in Chennai’s spin-friendly conditions. Ahead of the next game, here is all you need to know.
