Chennai Super Kings vs Kolkata Knight Riders Prediction & Betting Tips 2023
The wicket in Chennai will assist the spinners in the upcoming game and as the ball becomes old it might get even harder to hit it through. Both sides went head to head last year at the venue as it turned out to be a low scoring game. Even though KKR have been explosive so far, regardless we expect the total score to be under 365.5.
Both teams are pretty much stacked with heavy hitters. In both matches at the venue we saw teams scored 26 and 29 fours. As we have stated earlier this could be a tricky wicket to bat on and with spinners coming into play we might see more fours than sixes which makes us believe total fours would be over 29.5.

Chennai Super Kings vs Kolkata Knight Riders Betting Odds
Chennai Super Kings to have a better opening partnership than Kolkata Knight Riders
Kolkata Knight Riders and Chennai Super Kings head into this game in contrasting form . After a brilliant start to the campaign, Chennai Super Kings have lost back to back games on the road and some legitimate issues have been highlighted in the batting lineup in the last two matches. On the other hand, Kolkata Knight Riders have been stunning so far as they have three wins in three games and what's more impressive is the fact the last two wins have come on the road where they have been dominant from the start. One of the biggest positives for KKR was the form of Mitchell Starc in the last game as he struggled to get going in the first two matches. At this moment KKR has one of the most explosive openers in the tournament as they have managed an opening stand of 86 and 60 in the last two matches. What makes this tip so enticing is the fact CSK has conceded a bigger opening stand in each of the last two fixtures which makes us believe KKR would end up with a better opening partnership in the upcoming game.

Chennai Super Kings vs Kolkata Knight Riders Top Batters
Shivam Dube to be Chennai Super Kings’ top batter
The biggest worries for CSK this season has been the form of their openers especially in the last two matches due to which the onus lies on Shivam Dube to carry them over the line. With 148 runs, Dube is the leading run scorer for CSK this season which makes him our top pick in the upcoming game.
Shreyas Iyer to be Kolkata Knight Riders’ top batter
Even though Shreyas Iyer did not have a great start to the tournament, we are still going to go with him in this game. We expect some assistance for spinners in this wicket and with all the fire power in the top order, Iyer’s calmness in the middle order would see him score well for KKR which makes him our top pick in the upcoming game.
Chennai Super Kings vs Kolkata Knight Riders Top Bowlers
Deepak Chahar to be Chennai Super Kings’ top bowler
Even though Deepak Chahar hasn’t had a great outing in the last two games we are still going to go with him as he has been brilliant in the first two matches at home. With the absence of Mustafizur Rahman, we expect Chahar to provide an early breakthrough for CSK which makes him our top pick in the upcoming game.
Varun Chakaravarthy to be Kolkata Knight Riders’ top bowler
Varun Chakaravarthy had a brilliant game in the last outing against Delhi Capitals as one a difficult wicket he ended up with best bowling figures of the match. Considering the fact the wicket in Chennai has some assistance for spinners, we expect him to come good which makes him our top pick in the upcoming game.
