Kolkata Knight Riders will square off against Chennai Super Kings in the 33rd match of the season at the iconic Eden Gardens, Kolkata on Sunday. KKR has managed only two wins in six matches of the season and they will have to turn the tables as they are struggling in the bottom half of the points table.
On the other hand, CSK has won three out of their five matches (not considering their previous match against SRH on Friday). The MS Dhoni-led team is batting well and their spinners are also delivering the goods for them.
Both of these teams have potent spin attacks and the spinners will hold the key in this clash.
