csk2019The first leg of Sunday’s IPL double header is a heavyweight clash between Kolkata Knight Riders and Chennai Super Kings in Match 29.

 

 

 

Kolkata Knight Riders

The Knight Riders hosted Delhi Capitals on Friday and they crashed to a 7 wicket defeat. Batting first KKR posted 178/7 with Gill top scoring with 65 and Andre Russell added another quickfire 45. It was a good batting deck and Shikhar Dhawan’s unbeaten 97 saw Delhi get up with 7 balls to spare.

That was a second successive defeat for KKR who lost by the same margin in the first meeting with the Super Kings earlier this week and their overall record now comprises of 4 wins and 3 defeats.

 

 

Chennai Super Kings

The Super Kings bandwagon continues to roll and on Thursday they won away to Rajasthan Royals by 4 wickets in a tight and controversial finish. The Royals posted 151/7 batting first with Jadeja (2/20) the pick of the CSK bowlers. The Royals bowlers looked to have turned the game around with CSK in trouble at 24/4 but Dhoni (58) and Rayudu (57) came together to break the back of the chase and CSK edged home off the final ball of the match.

CSK now have a record of 6 wins and the 1 defeat which came away to Mumbai. Their other away fixture delivered a 6 wicket win over the Capitals in Delhi in Match 6 and at the half way stage of the tournament they set the pace at the top of the log.
