Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) will face Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the 57th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025. The match will be played at Eden Gardens, Kolkata, on 7 May 2025 at 07:30 PM IST. Kolkata Knight Riders Kolkata Knight Riders are fighting for their survival in the tournament. Their remaining games have become must-win in the IPL 2025. They registered a victory over the Rajasthan Royals by 1 run in the high-scoring thriller match. They posted 206 runs on the board, and RR fell short by 1 run. Riyan Parag's blistering 95-run innings couldn't save the match. KKR now have two back-to-back victories under their belt and are looking good to carry their form in the remaining matches. They are currently sitting in the 6th place on the IPL 2025. Chennai Super Kings Chennai Super Kings are already eliminated from the tournament with a poor run of form. Not only is their collective team performance disappointing, but their bowlers are also not scalping regular wickets in the late matches. They are heading into this match after losing to Royal Challengers Bengaluru by 2 runs in a high-scoring thriller. The 17-year-old Ayush Mhatre outperformed everyone with his 94-run knock. CSK are still sitting at the bottom of the IPL 2025 points table.

The average first innings score at this venue this year is 202, and it is expected to be a high-scoring thriller in this match as well.
