The 33rd game of IPL 2023 will be played between Kolkata Knight Riders and Chennai Super Kings at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata. Chennai are currently third place in the points table with eight points in six games, while Kolkata are at the eighth spot with four points in six matches.
The Super Kings are coming into the game on the back of a comfortable win against Hyderabad. Ravindra Jadeja took three wickets to restrict the opponents to just 134/7, in reply to which Devon Conway scored 77* off 57 to help Chennai chase the target.
The Knight Riders, on the other hand, come into this game on the back of a hattrick of losses and will be hoping to end their losing streak.

Batting first, Kolkata managed to score only 127 runs on the back of a knock of 43 off 39 from Jason Roy and a late cameo Andre Russell – 38* off 31. However, the KKR bowlers did a good job to take the game to the last over. Varun Chakravarthy, Anukul Roy, and Nitish Rana picked up two wickets each.
