CSK vs KKR Dream11 Prediction Match 61 of IPL 2023 Chennai Super Kings vs Kolkata Knight Riders Playing 11, Top Picks, Fantasy Cricket Tips

Chennai Super Kings go head-to-head against Kolkata Knight Riders in the 61st match of the Indian Premier League at MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai on 14th May, Sunday at 7:30 PM IST.

Chennai Super Kings continue to march on this season, yet another win, and this time against Delhi Capitals. Super Kings with that win are separated by 1 point from Gujarat Titans and are sitting at the second spot. With players stepping consistently, Chennai is riding high on that and winning games. Devon Conway, and Ruturaj Gaikwad doing so well at the top.

Shivam Dube, who’s been a revelation for Chennai this season, comes in and injects the momentum into the game which has helped them post good totals on the board too. With the ball, Maheesh Theekshana and Mathisha Pathirana have been brilliant. Deepak Chahar did well in the last game and Tushar Deshpande has been amongst the wickets for them as well.

Kolkata Knight Riders got thumped at the hands of Rajasthan Royals in the last game. It was yet another must-win game, but they lost so badly that their net run rate now has taken a big dent and even if they the remaining two games, their chances look bleak to make it into the playoffs. Kolkata Knight Riders got blown away by Yashasvi Jaiswal’s storm in the run chase as Rajasthan Royals went on to chase 150 in a canter with 6.5 overs to spare.

MA Chidambaram Stadium Pitch Report

The pitch in Chepauk is generally dry and hard which is going to deteriorate over time as the game progresses. Since it’s dry and hard, the batters will enjoy hitting through the line and the bowlers should try and find the right lengths and target the stumps more often. Teams usually opt to bat first. The average first innings total is 174.

The surface at Chennai has shown that it’s a great bowling deck too but the batters do enjoy at the start of the game as the ball will come onto the bat nicely. The bowlers will come into play later on and batting second becomes slightly difficult. In the last game, 9 wickets were picked by pacers while spinners scalped 5.
