Kolkata Knight Riders vs Chennai Super Kings betting preview

T20 cricket is a game of fine margins and Kolkata Knight Riders kept alive their IPL playoff hopes with a one-run win over Rajasthan Royals on Sunday.

KKR, last season's champions, are expected to make it three wins on the spin when they host Chennai Super Kings, who suffered a two-run defeat to highflying Royal Challengers Bengaluru last time out.

Kolkata Knight Riders vs Chennai Super Kings prediction and best bet

Chennai are bottom of the table after losing nine of their first 11 matches and Kolkata are worth backing to hit more sixes than their visitors at Eden Gardens.

Andre Russell and Rinku Singh struck six maximums from the last 15 balls of KKR's innings on Sunday while Chennai's bowlers conceded 14 sixes against RCB.

The Super Kings have a modest tally of 66 sixes in 11 games this term and Kolkata's power-hitters are in good touch. Six of their top seven struck at least one six in last week's away win over Delhi, as did five of the six players who batted against Rajasthan.

Kolkata Knight Riders top runscorer tip: Consistent Raghuvanshi can shine for hosts

Angkrish Raghuvanshi has shown remarkable consistency in his first full season for Kolkata, scoring at least 22 runs in eight of his nine innings.

The 20-year-old has made important knocks of 44 in each of KKR's last two victories and he is worth backing to top-score at Eden Gardens, where he slammed 50 off 32 balls against Sunrisers Hyderabad last month.

IPL FAQs

Who will win today’s IPL match?

Kolkata Knight Riders have boosted their playoff hopes with narrow wins over Delhi and Rajasthan and the 2024 IPL champions should be too strong for Chennai Super Kings, who have lost their last four games.

What are the best IPL bets for Wednesday?

Chennai Super Kings have been hampered by a lack of batting firepower this season and Kolkata Knight Riders should hit the most sixes in their clash with CSK. Batsman Angkrish Raghuvanshi has developed into a key man in the KKR top order and he is a tempting bet to top-score for the defending champions.

What channel is showing Kolkata Knight Riders vs Chennai Super Kings?

Kolkata Knight Riders vs Chennai Super Kings will be shown on Sky Sports Cricket & Sky Sports Main Event. The match starts at 3pm BST.
