The Kolkata Knight Riders will play host to the Chennai Super Kings at Eden Gardens in match 57 of the 2025 Indian Premier League on Wednesday. KKR are fifth in the league standings, while CSK are bottom of the table. Let’s get into the match prediction.
It’s crunch time for the defending champions. They have 11 points in 11 games, and you get the feeling they now need to win at least two of their three remaining games to reach the playoffs.
Thankfully for KKR, they are carrying momentum into this match, having won their last two, with the most recent being a thrilling one-run victory over the Rajasthan Royals on Sunday afternoon.
Notably, while the Knight Riders do not have any batsmen ranked in the top 10 of the leading run-scorer standings, Varun Chakaravarthy is now up to sixth in the race for the Purple Cap with 15 wickets.
Meanwhile, the Chennai Super Kings’ hopes of qualifying for the playoffs ended after coming up agonisingly short by two runs to the high-flying Royal Challengers Bangalore on Saturday.
CSK are now on a four-match losing streak and have still only won two of their 11 games this season. They will play out their final three matches as a mere formality.
While the Super Kings have won 19 of the 31 matches between these sides, they were beaten comprehensively by KKR by eight wickets when they met earlier this season.
