    What's the story

    Kolkata Knight Riders will fight for a much-needed win in Match 61 of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 against Chennai Super Kings.

    Having won five of their 12 matches, KKR must win their remaining two games to keep their outside chances for a playoff qualification alive.

    Meanwhile, CSK can officially secure a playoff berth with a win.

    Here is the pitch report.

    Conditions 

    How does the track behave here?

    Chennai's MA Chidambaram Stadium will host this contest on May 14 (7:30pm).

    Another run feast might be on offer as the track here has been conducive for run scoring.

    Spinners, however, can inflict some damage in the middle overs.

    Teams batting first and chasing have won three games apiece here this season.

    The toss-winning skipper is expected to bowl first.

    Stats

    42 of the 73 games played at this venue have been clinched by teams batting first.
