Bat first and win the match, that has been the mantra so far at IPL 2020 however, let’s not stick to that rule going into this Match 21 between Kolkata Knight Riders and Chennai Super Kings, as the latter loves chasing. Their two match wins have both come in successful chases and 3 of the total of 5 successful chases in IPL 2020 so far ave come at this ground in Abu Dhabi. Today, both these teams are equal favourites going into this game.
KKR is up at odds of 1.82 while CSK is slight favourite for today’s encounter at odds of 1.82 with 1xBet. Remember, we haven’t seen too many topsy turvy games in IPL 2020 so far, after the first few games were shockers. Now though, we think CSK has the edge as they’ve got all the confidence they need, registering a record 10-wicket win chasing 180+ against Punjab in their last outing.
Batting picks
For Kolkata, everyone’s got their eyes only on Shubman Gill but he’s not giving us too much value here, at odds of 3.46 with 1xBet to top score for KKR today. With only 27 runs in 4 games, Sunil Narine hasn’t been effective at the top and he’s also got only 2 wickets in those games, so he may be dropped for Tom Banton who offers better value at odds of 4.5 However, our bet will remain England captain Eoin Morgan, at an attractive price of 4.96!

As for Chennai, we have a new contender in Shane Watson after his Man of the Match performance. It was back to vintage Watto in the last game and he’s now listed at odds of 4.32 with 1xBet to top score for CSK while Faf du Plessis continue to stay favourite after 3 fifties in 5 games, at odds of 3.42. We think Faf is a good bet while you may get more value in Ambati Rayudu in the middle order, at odds of 4.42 today.
Bowling picks
Like we mentioned, Sunil Narine has been ineffective while chinaman bowler Kuldeep Yadav hasn’t been used much either, so we won’t be betting on them, bot listed at 4.5 with 1xBet to be KKR’s top bowler today. Pat Cummins is favourite but he also has only 2 wickets in 4 games. We think the local bowlers could be good bets today, with both of Kamlesh Nagarkoti and Shivam Mavi listed at odds of 5 each!

For Chennai, Imran Tahir is top favourite to be their best bowler but he hasn’t got a game yet. Sam Curran also hasn’t been threatening with the ball, so we would suggest a bet in Piyush Chawla, who is up against his former franchise and will be looking to create some trouble for them. Chawla has 6 wickets in 5 games so far and is CSK’s top bowler already, so we’ll back him at odds of 4.32 with 1xBet today!

It’s been a tough season for both these teams so far but the KKR strike bowlers haven’t been able to get early wickets, which means CSK will feast on this opportunity to score a few runs early and may even go on to win the match. Let’s also back CSK to have a higher score after 6 overs for today’s game as the likes of Deepak Chahar will keep KKR in check in the first few overs! For more updates, stay tuned to ReadScoops.com…
