Chennai Super Kings

CSK is in superb form in this year's IPL and won back-to-back matches against Mumbai & Delhi. With a win in the match, they will qualify for the playoffs in IPL 2023. Their batsmen are in good form and made a good contribution in the last game as well as in the whole tournament. Ben Stokes has not been in the playing 11 to make a spot for Moeen Ali in the season. Chahar came back well and took a couple of wickets in the last game and Pathirana is also in good form in the season.

Kolkata Knight Riders

KKR has made this game a do or die option after their thrashing loss against Rajasthan. Their batting lineup needs to perform well as a team and not depend upon individual brilliance. Umesh hasn't played in the last match due to a hamstring injury and his inclusion in the playing eleven is depending upon the clearance of BCCI. KKR will play their spin trio for this match against CSK along with Harshit Rana & Shardul Thakur.
