KKR bowl first, Rinku comes in for injured Rana

[ad_1] Toss : Kolkata Knight Riders chose to bowl v Chennai Super Kings Sunil Narine frustrated RCB with a chancy innings  BCCI Kolkata Knight Riders captain Dinesh Karthik stuck with the chasing trend and chose to bowl first against Chennai Super Kings in Kolkata. KKR made one change to the side that beat RCB in the previous game, bringing back Rinku Singh for Nitish Rana, suffering from a bad back. CSK captain MS Dhoni, while naming an unchanged team, also said he preferred to bowl first. "The only concern is that the outfield seems smaller," he said. "We need to work on death bowling and need to bowl to the field." CSK top the points table with six wins from eight games, while KKR have split their eight games, sitting fourth on the table.

[ad_1] Kolkata Knight Riders 176 for 4 (Lynn 62, Uthappa 36) beat Royal Challengers Bangalore 175 for 4 (Kohli 68*, McCullum 38, Russell 3-31) by six wickets play 3:11 Shaun Tait and Ajit Agarkar discuss Royal Challengers' continuing struggles after their fifth loss in seven games Kolkata Knight Riders gained two significant advantages even before a ball was bowled in Bengaluru. First, Dinesh Karthik chose to bowl at a favourable chasing ground. Then, Knight Riders found out that AB de Villiers was out with a viral fever. Both those factors had a decisive impact as Knight Riders chased down a target of 176 with relative ease, with five balls to spare, consigning Royal Challengers to their fifth loss in seven games. Without their highest run-scorer of the season, Royal Challengers had to employ a less attacking approach, aiming for par instead of a 200-plus score, like the one they got in the previous game against Chennai Super Kings after losing the toss. All they could manage wa...

Can KKR, CSK iron out their end-over issues?

[ad_1] Kolkata Knight Riders : beat Royal Challenegers Bangalore by six wickets, lost to Delhi Daredevils by 55 runs, lost to Kings XI Punjab by nine wickets , beat Rajasthan Royals by seven wickets Chennai Super Kings : beat Delhi Daredevils by 13 runs, lost to Mumbai Indians by eight wickets, beat Royal Challengers by five wickets, beat Sunrisers Hyderabad by four runs Big Picture The previous match these two played became the one of most talked about games this season, after Vinay Kumar faltered in the execution of a yorker that became a full toss that Dwayne Bravo blasted it into the stands to win it. That match itself was high-scoring and some of the questions it prompted have remained the same. How these sides address them will likely determine the winner on Thursday evening. Halfway into the tournament the Super Kings have proved to be the best batting unit - in terms of run rate across the three phases of innings. They are third in the Powerplay (8.92), but have the best ...
