Chennai Super Kings will take on Kolkata Knight Riders in their next match of Indian Premier League in Dubai tomorrow night. Chennai Super Kings have only 8 points from 12 matches and they have already been ruled out of the play-off race and now will look to finish their disappointing season with a few wins. On the other hand, Kolkata Knight Riders have 12 points from 12 matches and they need to win this match to stay alive in the play-offs race.
Here we are going to discuss strengths and weakness of Chennai Super Kings as well as of Kolkata Knight Riders and will also make our CSK vs KOL Today Match Prediction –
Strengths :
Chennai Super Kings don’t have much strength but still they have some fine players of this format who are match winners like Faf du Plessis who can give a good start along with young Ruturaj Gaikwad and then they have a middle order of experienced player like Ambati Rayudu, MS Dhoni, Ravindra Jadeja and Sam Curran and these batsmen have the capabilities to post a good total and then in bowling Deepak Chahar and Sam Curran can take wickets with new ball and the spin trio of Jadeja, Santner and Imran Tahir will be the key in middle overs.
On the other hand, Kolkata Knight Riders also have a good but inconsistent batting line up as Shubman Gill, Nitish Rana, Eoin Morgan and Dinesh Karthik are pretty good batsmen of this format and can change the game on their own and they also have two match winner all rounders Andre Russell and Sunil Narine and if they step up then Kolkata can destroy any bowling attack. In the bowling Pat Cummins and Lockie Ferguson will be the key in start and death overs and then in middle overs spinner Varun Chakravarthy has been impressive so far.
Weaknesses :
Chennai Super Kings’ weakness is their dull batting line up as most of their batsmen with a lower strike rate and have been poor when it comes to scoring at a good rate and because of this issue they have struggled through out the season and neither they have a pacer with high pace who can trouble opponents on dry pitches.
On the other hand, Kolkata Knight Riders’ weakness is the inconsistency of their batting line up as the likes of Rahul Tripathi, Nitish Rana, Dinesh Karthik and Sunil Narine couldn’t perform consistently and also the poor form of Andre Russell has affected them big time. And in the bowling Pat Cummins hasn’t taken enough wickets with the new ball.
Here we are going to discuss both Chennai Super Kings and Kolkata Knight Riders’s playing combination and probable playing XIs who will be useful for making CSK vs KOL Dream11 Team
Chennai Super Kings will look to continue with the same playing 11 who played against Royal Challengers Bangalore and won the match. On the other side, Kolkata Knight Riders might drop out of form Rahul Tripathi for Siddesh Lad or Rinku Singh and if Andre Russell is fit he can replace either Pat Cummins or Sunil Narine.
