And we are finally down to two teams in this Vivo IPL 2021. The final match between the Chennai Super Kings and the Kolkata Knight Riders will be played on Friday. CSK have won both the encounters between these sides this season. They will be high on confidence coming into this having booked the final berth in the first qualifier itself.
On the other hand, KKR had it the hard way. In the first leg, they had only two wins in seven games. But we have seen a resurgence from them in the second half. They have won seven of the nine games until now in UAE. Whether they can cross the final hurdle remains to be seen. Will the Super Kings march towards a fourth IPL title or the Knight Riders would snatch their third title, the first after 2014?
