CSK vs KKR Match Prediction
It’s the final night, both the teams are just one win away from lifting the trophy of the 14th edition of the Indian Premier League. Chennai Super Kings had a very decent season with consistently performing and staying in the top four positions. They qualified for the finals easily and have a stable team. Ruturaj Gaikwad has shown brilliant performance in the UAE and we will hope for the same from in the finals. Chennai has performed well in both innings and is the strongest contender for the trophy.
Kolkata on the other hand had a roller coaster journey, they have won their last four matches and are back in Form. The team is performing well and it will be a very tough match to decide the winner as both the team are their best and both the teams are very deserving. Chennai has an advantage of experience and Kolkata has a 100% win advantage in the finals. Out of their 9 wins, KKR has won 7 matches chasing the target and will hope to bat in the second innings.
