Kolkata are already guaranteed a playoff place, but they must beat Hyderabad by a massive margin if they are to secure a top-two finish in the Indian Premier League.
Chennai’s eight-wicket win at Bangalore earlier today means that the KKR must beat the Sunrisers by at least 40 runs or with at least 28 balls to spare in order to climb above CSK.
Saying that, Kolkata will sneak past CSK if they chase and hit a six with the scores level to secure victory with 25 balls to spare. Complex!
The Sunrisers have an outside chance of prolonging their season, but, like their opponents, they must drastically improve their net run rate.
Hyderabad need to annihilate KKR and hope that the Mumbai Indians beat the Rajasthan Royals by a fairly small margin tomorrow.
Prediction: Kolkata have won their last six games and I think they will extend that run today. Orange Cap holder Robin Uthappa is in great form. As for second place though, Chennai look to have it in the bag.
