In their previous outing, CSK played at par with its reputation, restricting RCB at a below par score and chasing it with 8 wickets to spare. It would look to continue with the same intensity as it faces KKR, who is still in the contention for the playoffs.
KKR has been hot and cold throughout the tournament with 12 points from 12 games so far. It would be desperate for a win as two points could make or marr its chances for the playoffs.

IPL 2020, Match 49: CSK vs KKR Pitch report
In the last match at Dubai, we saw SRH score 219 runs while batting first, while Delhi perished in the second innings as the wicket was a bit sticky.
Although there is early help for pacers, it remains to be seen if they capitalise on it. Both skipper would look to bat first and put runs on the board with the pitch helping spinners at later stages.
