Super Kings vs. Knight Riders

The small boundaries and quick wicket at Supersport Park in Centurion should yield a high-scoring encounter when the Chennai Super Kings clash with the Kolkata Knight Riders today. Absolutely nothing seems to be going the Knight Rider’s way and a victory over Chennai would go a long way to numbing the pain of their wooden spoon spanking in Indian Premier League 2009.

IPL match preview:

Chennai Super Kings

IPL 2009 so far: Played – 12, Won – 7, Lost – 4, N/R – 1

Super Kings have already booked a semi-final berth, and are unlikely to make many changes to their team. However, there may be a rotation or two in the bowling department to give some of their key performers rest. Jacob Oram and Albie Morkel are yet to have a decent bat throughout this tournament, so one can expect them to feature higher in the order. 

Best Bet for Chennai Super Kings:

Matthew Hayden – 10/10
MS Dhoni- 9/10
Albie Morkel – 8/10
Suresh Raina – 8/10
Sudeep Tyagi -7/10

Kolkata Knight Riders

IPL 2009 so far: Played – 12, Won – 1, Lost – 10, N/R – 1  

After a heartbreaking defeat against the Deccan Chargers in their last match, the Knight Riders will be desperate for a little luck and a favourable result. They’ve been the dead-rubber of Indian Premier League 2009, but with only a few chances left to shine expect a determined performance.  

Best Bet for Kolkata Knight Riders:

Sourav Ganguly – 8/10
Brad Hodge – 8/10
David Hussey – 8/10
Brendon McCullum – 7/10
Murali Karthik – 7/10
