KKR VS CSK Preview:
It’s finally show time for both the teams, as they take on each other for the first time in the tournament. The captains from both the teams are very well experienced and also are very good batsmen who usually bats down the order to finish things off. Looking at the points table we have KKR at the 4th spot having won two out their four games, while on the other hand CSK has won two out of their five games and stands at the number 6 spot. (Updated after RCB VS DC match). This is a crucial match for both the teams. Losing this could indeed cause great difference in the later stages of the tournament.
Pitch Report:
The Sheikh Zayed Stadium has hosted 45 T20I matches in the last ten years, where the highest team total has been 225/7. The pitch has been good for batsmen, but the spin bowlers often trouble them on this ground. The average run rate in T20I games played in Abu Dhabi is 7, which shows that anything above 140 will be a par score. The surfaces at the UAE are all slowish and hence make it very difficult for the batsmen to hit the biggies.
