CSK vs KKR Prediction
One can expect a tight contest when the two in-form teams battle it out at the MA Chidambaram Stadium on Tuesday. While Kolkata Knight Riders have gained plenty of momentum with wins in their last two games, Chennai Super Kings have the advantage of playing at their fortress where they have emerged victorious on all three occasions this season. Plus, they have beaten KKR at this venue seven times out of nine in the history of the IPL and have even won the last four head-to-head meetings here. Now that should really boost the confidence of the home team.
But the Super Kings know that beating the Knight Riders who boast tremendous batting depth won't be easy and that they will have to be on their toes all the time. The visitors have relied heavily on Andre Russell so far this season, especially with the bat, and if the hosts are able to neutralize the Russell threat, their chances of winning will shoot up drastically. CSK now look a much better batting unit with du Plessis in the line-up and we are backing them to stop the KKR juggernaut at home.
