Continuous wickets falling down from the beginning of CSK batting. One is coming and going back. I don't know if CSK can play 20 overs or not. In my perception if they play 20 overs they will not be able to run more then 150. Looking at the current state of play, it would be hard to guess that CSK's low score is a big barrier for the opposition.
CSK completed the entire 20 over game and set Kolkata a target of just 144 runs. It's a big chance for Kolkata to win the match and if they try, they might succeed. the target of 144 runs in a T20 match is not too big so it can be achieved without being a very good team. It will be a big failure for Kolkata if they fail to take advantage of this opportunity. Let's finally see how many opportunities Kolkata can exploit
If Kolkata can surpass CSK 144 run target they would have a decent chance to win the match. When playing intelligently Kolkata Knight riders can easily reach their objective of 144 runs in a T20 encounter. But if they do not take advantage of this chance their team will suffer serious setback. It will be intriguing to watch how the batsmen for the Kolkata Knight Riders fare during their pursuit. As of the most recent update Kolkata Knight riders batting is still going strong. They have scored 39 run in just 5.3 overs showing that they are likely to win this match. It will be fascinating to watch how the match develop in the remaining over while it is still in action
Chennai super kings failed to make a decent score. Anything under 150 runs is almost impossible to defend in these IPL matches and due to this Kolkata Knight Riders comfortably won this match.
Chennai super kings had a good start with 61-2 in around 8 overs But after that, they started losing quick wickets and never recovered.
Shivam Dube scored 48 runs later in the innings but they were not able to make a decent total. Kolkata Knight Riders also had a bad start when Jason Roy was out at 33-3 but later Nitish Rana and Rinku Singh both scored 50+ runs and won the game for Chennai super kings.
Bo big score cane from the openers. Whether it is CSK or any other team when there is good start at the opening, automatically we can see good score coming from the team. Today CSK failed to score as Gaikwad scored 17 runs, Conway scored 30 runs and Rahane scored 16 runs. Somehow Dubey managed to score important runs for the team. If not the score could've been even lower.
