Match: 7:30 pm (IST)

Analysis: Despite the fact that CSK have not been inspiring yet, the opening duo of Watson-Du Plessis can be deadly at times. Also, Ambati, who has been a great figure for the Yellow Army, might be called for the top-order. Dhoni himself will be trying to regain the lost momentum. Also, Jadeja and Bravo will be stabling at the finish. Their bowlers, especially Piyush, are going pretty fine, and can CSK can have an upper hand with Chahar, Hazlewood.

On the other hand, KKR might try swiping the order a bit as their batsman and bowler are no more in the required form. Narine, Gill, and Banton will be the major assets to cause either downfall or lead to victory. Karthik himself will be looking to a big it. The bowlers Pat Cummins is known for his pace and they can try changing in the lower-order.
