Kolkata Knight Riders will face Chennai Super Kings in a high-voltage IPL encounter at MA Chidambaram Stadium. If KKR wins this match, they will go to the top of the points table.
Why not? If they win, KKR will have 8 points after four games, the same as Rajasthan Royals. However, KKR has a higher net run rate (2.518) than Rajasthan (1.120).
KKR is unstoppable in the current IPL. Chennai Super Kings won two and lost two. If the Chennai Super Kings win the match, they will level the Knights in terms of points.
Not only that, but the defending champions will have a chance to match the points of the Lucknow Super Giants.
Remember these points at the time of building Dream 11 Fantasy Team:
- Matheesha Pathirana will play against Kolkata Knight Riders.
- Mustafizur Rahman is uncertain against Kolkata Knight Riders.
- Nitish Rana will play against Chennai Super Kings.
- Vaibhav Arora can replace Harshit Rana.

CSK vs KKR Dream 11 Prediction: Who is going to win?
KKR seems to have a slight upper hand in this match. Their batting is burning on all cylinders, with contributions from the top to the middle order, whilst CSK’s top order requires resurrection.
Spinners such as Varun Chakravarthy have made an impression for KKR, who might take advantage of any CSK batting weaknesses. Bowling is a problem for CSK due to the absence of important players, but the speed attack remains a bright feature.
The KKR’s batting depth and spin attack give them a little advantage, but CSK’s experience and home advantage should not be overlooked. It may be a competitive match, although KKR appears to be in stronger shape overall.
