Chennai Super Kings vs Kolkata Knight Riders match prediction 49th match

Chennai Super Kings vs Kolkata Knight Riders | Player Bets that can Make You Rich

Chennai Super Kings will lock horns with Kolkata Knight Riders in match number 49 of the Indian Premier League 2020 at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium, in Dubai, on October 29, on Thursday evening.

Chennai Super Kings are down and out of the IPL 2020 playoff race but they are definitely capable of spoiling the party for other teams. Kolkata Knight Riders are on 12 points and they need two wins from two to cement their place in the playoffs and if they don't, the teams who are still alive in this race, Kings XI Punjab and Sunrisers Hyderabad, will be breathing a sigh of relief. We are in for an enthralling contest tomorrow and we are still not sure who is going to come out on top after this encounter. In the meantime, I have assorted three of the best player markets for you to bet on from this match. Let me take you through them one by one:

Faf du Plessis to score at least 25.5 runs

Faf du Plessis has been quite phenomenal with his piece of willow in this ongoing edition of the Indian Premier League. To be honest, he was the only saving grace rather, the only threatening player in that legendary Chennai Super Kings Squad. There is not even an iota of doubt that he has been having his best ever season with the bat in the IPL. The South African has 401 runs under his belt at an average of 40.10 including second-most number of half-centuries (4) in the ongoing season. He has scored more than 25 runs in 6 occasions in 12 matches in IPL 2020 and even though he failed to go past that target against the Knight Riders the last time, he is gunned enough to do it again tomorrow. He has played 10 matches at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium and he has racked up 307 runs at an average of above 43.0. Du Plessis also has 547 runs in the United Arab Emirates in 19 matches at an average of just above 39.0. Sportsbet.io is offering odds of 1.85 for Du Plessis to score at least 26 runs against Kolkata Knight Riders tomorrow.

Shubman Gill to score at least 24.5 runs

If you have not watched him bat in his prime, then you really have missed out on something fascinating in the world of cricket right now. Shubman Gill is the star of Indian cricket at the moment and due to his diligence and consistency he has earned the call up for India's tour Down Under. Just like Du Plessis, Gill has been in top form for Kolkata Knight Riders and is the highest run getter for the two-time champions with 378 runs at an average of 34.36. He has played 4 matches against Chennai Super Kings and has 92 runs to his tally at an average of 30.67. Gill has featured in only one match at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium and has scored 47 runs in that game. He has 1155 runs in his T20 career at an average of 33.97 and that again is more than what we need him to score tomorrow against Chennai Super Kings. Sportsbet.io again is offering odds of 1.85 for Shubman Gill to score at least 25 runs tomorrow in Dubai.

Faf du Plessis to hit at least 2.5 fours

Well yes, we are not done with Faf du Plessis yet as he is going to make a lot more money tomorrow than you expected. Du Plessis is expected to hit at least 3 fours on Thursday night against Kolkata Knight Riders and for that, Bet 365 has offered odds of 1.83! That is a jolly-good deal and in no way we should be missing out on this market and let that money-making opportunity slip through our hands. Du Plessis has smashed 38 fours in 12 games already, which is more than 3 hits per game! He has 201 boundaries in 83 matches in the history of this tournament and that is an average of 2.42 fours per game, which is .08 shy of our target. The attacking batsman has smashed more than three boundaries on five occasions in the ongoing season of the Indian Premier League. The last time he played against Kolkata Knight Riders earlier this season, he hit three fours as well. Du Plessis mens business every game and so do we and thus just need him to hit three fours and we are good to go!
