IPL 2023 weather update: Kolkata weather report on April 23 for today's KKR vs CSK clash
Fans can expect an uninterrupted contest when the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) lock horns with the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at Eden Gardens in Kolkata on Sunday, April 22.
Both teams have had contrasting IPL 2023 campaigns so far. While CSK have won four out of their six games and currently occupy the third spot, KKR are eighth in the standings. Kolkata have managed to win only two out of their six fixtures.
CSK won their last game convincingly by seven wickets against SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH). The four-time champions have performed exceedingly well this season and MS Dhoni and Co. will look to continue their winning run.
KKR, on the other hand, went down against the Delhi Capitals (DC) in their last game. The Kolkata batters failed yet again as they could only muster 127 runs while batting first. The bowlers did well to take the game deep but couldn't save the day as DC won the contest with four balls to spare.
Kolkata will hope to return to winning ways and keep themselves in the fray for a top-four finish.
