CSK vs KKR Dream11: Chennai Super Kings will take on Kolkata Knight Riders in the 49th match of IPL 2020. While CSK has become the only side to be eliminated from the tournament, KKR still stand a chance to qualify into the last four. Chennai has nothing to lose now but they can spoil the chances of other teams. They have been the best side of IPL for so many years but this year has been a disappointing one for them. Most of their key players who have been the architects of their success are out of form or unavailable. The injuries to several players haven’t helped their cause either. Faf du Plessis has led the way at the top but his partners have been changing consistently not allowing the opening pair to get settled. MS Dhoni hasn’t looked at his best any time in the tournament which has cost CSK some games. Gaikwad hit a promising half century in the last game before which the bowlers had restricted a strong RCB batting lineup to under 150. Sam Curran has also been impressive with both the bat and ball and has been one of the shining lights for CSK. They will draw inspiration from that performance and will look to replicate the same.

Kolkata on the other hand, has been the most unpredictable team this year. If they perform well, they have the ability to beat even the strongest of teams. On the other side, they have also lost some games in a disappointing way. Overall they won’t be happy with their performance so far. Shubman Gill has scored runs at the top but has struggled to score quick runs. Captain Eoin Morgan has been consistent with the bat but Dinesh Karthik’s form has been a worry. In the bowling Pat Cummins will be important with the new ball while Lockie Ferguson’s skills will be crucial at the death. The performance of Varun Chakravarthy has been the shining light for KKR and they will need to win this game to inch closer to the playoffs.

Pitch Report: The pitch in Dubai has affected the spinners as the matches have gone by. The slightly slower nature of the wicket means batsmen who can apply themselves better will go on to play a big inning. Wriddhiman Saha showed that in the last game where he relied on timing and placement more than slogging in his match-winning 87. Rashid Khan proved that there is something for the spinners too. Dew will be a factor as the temperature is decreasing day by day. The temperature will be 34 degrees during the day and there is no chance of rain according to the forecast.

CSK vs KKR Today match prediction

They are at No.5 in the points table and will move to the top 4 if they win. Pat Cummins has picked up crucial wickets with the new ball and he will be crucial against an in-form Du Plessis.

CSK vs KOL Dream11 Prediction Captain, Differential Picks

Faf du Plessis- Faf has been the standout batsman for CSK this season. Batting at the top, he has often given CSK some quick starts. Averaging 40 at a strike rate of 140, he has scored over 401 runs this season. He scored 17 off 10 balls in the last match vs KKR.

Nitish Rana- The talented left-hander is having a poor season so far. Though he scored 81 vs Delhi, overall he has been inconsistent so far. He got out for a golden duck in the last game but will favour Super Kings’ left-arm spinners and legspinners. He scored 9 off 10 balls in the last match vs CSK.

Ambati Rayudu- Rayudu has been quietly impressive along with Faf in the top order. He has an average of 36 this season and plays spin really well. He scored 30 off 27 balls in the last game vs KKR. He can be a player to watch out in this CSK vs KOL Dream11 prediction.

Eoin Morgan- The captain of the KKR has been the most consistent run getter for them. Coming at the middle order, he averages 37 with the bat at a strike rate of 131. With no offspinner in the lineup, Morgan can be crucial with his sweeps and slog sweeps. He scored 7 off 10 balls in the last game vs CSK.

Sam Curran- The young England allrounder has the ability to make things happen whether he bats or bowls. He has been one of the shining stars this season and has taken the responsibility in the absence of Bravo. He has picked up wickets in crucial times and has also played some cameos with the bat. He picked up 2 for 26 and scored 17 off 11 balls in the last game vs KKR.

Dinesh Karthik- Karthik is having a poor tournament so far with the bat. He gave up captaincy to concentrate on his batting but hasn’t shown his worth yet. A few finishes down the order means he has performed in the lower middle order but has often failed at No.4. He scored 12 off 11 balls in the last game vs CSK.


Differential Picks

Ruturaj Gaikwad- The young opener was very impressive in the last game and showed some maturity chasing a below-par total. His 65 off 51 made sure CSK reached the target without any hiccups. He didn’t play in the last game vs KKR but is the second-highest run-scorer in the Syed Mushtaq Ali tournament 2019-20.

Varun Chakravarthy- He has been the star so far for KKR. He is the only bowler to pick up a 5-wicket haul this season. He has picked up 13 wickets in 11 matches and has recently earned an India call-up with his stellar performance. He picked up 1 for 28 in the last game vs CSK.
