Chennai Super Kings would be up against the Kolkata Knight Riders in the 49th game of the IPL. Chennai comes into this game after a massive win against the Royal Challengers Bangalore against the run of play, but the side is already out of the contention for a spot in the next round. For the KKR it was yet another loss against the Kings XI Punjab and their entry into the next round would depend on the result of the next game which they can’t afford to lose.
For CSK it has been a disastrous season where they have failed to show their consistency. Their batting line-up has struggled right through the tournament and this is a big concern for them going into this contest. As far as KKR is concerned they will take heart from their last win against Chennai and shall like to use that as an inspiration in what is a do-or-die contest for the side.
Match: 49
Day: Thursday
Date: 29th October 2020
Venue: Dubai International Cricket Stadium, Dubai, UAE
Time: 7:30 PM (IST)
Pitch and Conditions:
The conditions in Dubai have tilted towards the bowlers. The playing surface has become slower and slower with accurate spin being particularly difficult to score off. The lack of pace has also meant that the batsmen are not finding the boundaries as easily.
A score of around 180 is going to be competitive and anything more is potentially match-winning. Expect a low-scoring attritional contest between these two teams.
TOSS:
The team that wins the toss is going to want to bat first. While both teams have won chasing, the conditions may force the captain that wins the toss to bat first and set a target.
