CSK won 13 matches, KKR 7 in IPL
The clash between Chennai Super Kings and Kolkata Knight Riders will be thrilling at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi. Kolkata's weight is heavy, but Chennai is also confident of losing three matches and winning the last match by 10 wickets. The Kolkata team is balanced, but there are some difficulties.
In the last match against Delhi Capitals, they could not win the match even after getting close to the target. The reason was the wrong batting line-up. The biggest concern for the team in the form of captain Dinesh Karthik. Yet he is ahead of England captain Eoin Morgan. Even Andre Russell has not done well yet. Rahul Tripathi has raised hopes in bowling. Kolkata's bowling line-up is good.
Kedar's form a cause for concern for Chennai
Chennai, on the other hand, has made a comeback to the tournament with a 10-wicket win over Kings XI Punjab. Watson's form and Faf Duplessis's form have strengthened the middle order. Now the team is looking balanced. Imran Tahir is not getting a place in the team due to Sam Karen's form. Captain Dhoni's form and batting order are still in question. His new bowling line-up is varied and Dhoni likes it.
Kedar Jadhav's form is the biggest concern for the team. Now it remains to be seen how the team will get out of it. Jadeja is also giving more runs. The Kolkata team looks strong, but Chennai has also found a winning formula, so it will be fun to watch the clash.
The two teams have played 21 matches in the IPL, of which Chennai has won 13 and Kolkata 7.
