IPL Game 11 - Chennai Super Kings vs Kolkata Knight Riders
What a cracking game this is going to be, both Chennai and Kolkata are undefeated with both teams boasting a range of international stars. However, both teams will suffer significant losses after this match with the Australian and New Zealand players having to leave for their tours of West Indies and England respectively.
But, they haven't left yet and this game promises to be an awesome match-up with both the Knight Riders and the Super Kings boasting brilliant batting line-ups. Kolkata has an explosive top five consisting of Ganguly, McCullum, Ponting, David Hussey and Mohammad Hafeez and they will go up against Parthiv Patel, Hayden, Michael Hussey, Raina, Dhoni and Oram. What a contest this promises to be!!
This should be a high to very high scoring game, it might come down to which bowling unit can gel the best as restricting the runs will be very important with both sides having such attacking batting cards. The best match-up of the tournament so far, let's hope it's a close one!!
