Hello and Welcome to our preview for Kolkata Knight Riders vs Chennai Super Kings. We are covering KKR vs CSK Dream11 Team Prediction, Preview and Probable Playing XI for IPL2018. The next match is to be played at Eden Gardens, Kolkata.
The action returns to Kolkata after a little while, and there cannot be a competition as juicy as this. KKR vs CSK, is always a treat to watch for the fans. Chennai are favorites, but just on paper. Only time will tell the winner.
Kolkata Knight Riders won their last match against Bangalore in Bangalore’s home ground. It was rather a disappointing effort from the bowling. Conceding 175 runs, Kuldeep Yadav was amazing with the ball, giving away runs with economy of 5 and taking the wicket of Dangerous De Kock. Russell also took 3. With the help of some great start from their top 3 batsmen, and later Karthik’s quickfire 23, the game was won by KKR with 5 balls left.
For Chennai Super Kings, Watson, Rayudu and Dhoni. They are running is quite unstoppable. In their last match, against Daredevils they hit 15 sixes in an innings, and scored 211 in 20 overs. In bowling, Harbhajan and Lungi Ngidi were smart, the economy under 7. KM Asif took 3, but he was expensive, too. Chennai will like to repeat these things, or better to win the match.
