Expected to fight for their playoff slots, KKR must maintain constant pressure as CSK plays to prevent KKR’s victory while trying to secure their own pride.
🏟️ Eden Gardens Match Conditions
Players benefit from Eden Gardens’ stable terrain which favors opening batting but delivers increasing advantages to spin and slower deliveries later in the match. A typical first innings team conducting its batting will produce results in the range of 158 runs. Historically speaking chasing produced better results but defending has become more practicable because of the pitch’s gradual deceleration.
The statistics from previous encounters between KKR and CSK reveal the following results.
In their previous 30 matchups CSK triumphed 19 times yet KKR emerged victorious ten times. KKR achieved an eight-wicket victory over CSK by reducing them to their season’s lowest home total of 103/9.
