Chennai will come to their home ground aiming for a hat-trick of victories after defeating the in-form Mumbai Indians and Delhi Capitals. Even though Chennai have lost this season in Chappauk, things will not be easy for other teams. Because the diamond weapon that Dhoni has is Matisha Pathirana.
Pathirana’s pace and accuracy in yorkers make it difficult for the batsmen to find runs. So the batsmen have to strategize targeting the other Chennai bowlers. Ravindra Jadeja and Moeen Ali are the spin duo to stop the run flow in the middle overs.
Chennai has the upper hand in everything when taking the field against Kolkata. Chennai players are in brilliant form in batting. It will not be easy for Kolkata to hold the batting line that extends up to number eight. Especially since the match came after a heavy defeat against Rajasthan Royals.
The doors of the playoffs will open for Kolkata only if they win the remaining two matches by huge margins and depend on the results of the other teams. Kolkata, who are backward in both bowling and batting, will have to deploy all weapons against Chennai.
