Indian T20 League 2019, Match 23: Chennai vs Kolkata – NostraGamus Predictions

Chennai and Kolkata have won four matches each in the IPL 2019. Kolkata currently hold the summit spot due to superior net run-rate. Both the teams have registered four wins each from their five outings so far and have been in pretty impressive form.

Chennai have beaten Punjab in Chennai on Saturday, where Harbhajan Singh, Imran Tahir and Ravindra Jadeja stifled the Punjab batsmen to set up the win. Chennai, on their part, brought in Faf du Plessis in place of the injured Dwayne Bravo and he made an immediate impact with a quality knock. His contribution at the top will be crucial again.

Kolkata are also coming off an all-round clinical win over Rajasthan on Sunday night. Kolkata Bowlers didn’t allow the attacking Jos Buttler to get going on a slowish Jaipur track, thus restricting Rajasthan to a below-par total of 139/3 in 20 overs cricket.

All eyes will be on the batting line-ups and how they go about neutralising the spin threat. How the Chennai handle the in-form Russell threat will be watched with keen interest.

Pitch Report:

The venue is home to Chennai in the IPL and the most fascinating thing about the ground is the crowd support. Although the pitch was very hard and rough during the first encounter between Chennai and Bangalore but usually the pitch supports batsmen in T-20 cricket more and hopefully there could be a high scoring game.

Here’s a look at the predicted XI for the live cricket match Chennai vs Kolkata:
