Kolkata Knight Riders vs Chennai Super Kings: Who Will Win Today’s KKR vs CSK IPL Match 57?

The Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) are slated to face their archrivals, the Chennai Super Kings (CSK), at Eden Gardens on May 7, 2025, in what should be a crucial fixture of the IPL. Currently placed sixth on the points table with 11 points from as many matches, KKR will have to win at least five of their remaining seven games to keep water in their title bid.

Russell’s form will be a big factor for KKR in the playoff push, considering the almost match-winning contribution in their previous encounter, where KKR chased down a paltry target of 103 runs in an absolute canter. For CSK, it will be a dead rubber and a battle for pride, as they will want to disrupt the KKR celebrations.

Another layer of a backhanded compliment for KKR is that CSK has won 20 out of 31 matches against them. Yet, KKR does seem to be equalling that, at least somewhat, at Eden Gardens. In their last clash this year at the MA Chidambaram Stadium, KKR chased down a paltry 103/9 asking in just 10.1 overs, with an eight-wicket win dominating over CSK. CSK, with only two wins in 11 matches this season, faces a seemingly daunting task of ruining KKR’s day. A few with this, KKR’s spin attack spearheaded by Sunil Narine and Varun Chakravarthy, and little CSK experience, this match should be thrilling to watch.

Who Will Win the Match?

KKR just eked out a win against Rajasthan Royals by 1 run. So, they are coming into this match on a high. The other side is that CSK has had a poor season, winning barely twice in eleven games. Even with Ayush Mhatre scoring 94 runs in the last match, they ended up losing by 2 runs against Royal Challengers Bengaluru. Given the present form and stakes, KKR seems to have the better edge. Recent results paint the home side as favorites to clutch a win in this match.
