Chennai Super Kings will take on Kolkata Knight Riders in its last home league match of IPL 2023 at the M.A. Chidambaram Stadium in Chepauk on Sunday. Super Kings lead the head-to-head record against Knight Riders by a fair margin and will start favourites on Sunday in home conditions.

Since Punjab Kings chased down 201 last month, the pitch at the M.A. Chidambaram Stadium seems to have slowed down. While Mumbai Indians only managed to post 139 in the following game, Delhi Capitals failed to chase 168 in the last match at the venue. With teams batting first and second winning three matches each, not much should ride on the outcome of the toss.
