CSK vs KKR Prediction: Who Will Win Today’s IPL 2026 Match 22?

The 22nd match of IPL 2026 sees Chennai Super Kings (CSK) face Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at the MA Chidambaram Stadium on Tuesday, April 14.

CSK had a rough start to their campaign, losing three consecutive matches. However, they bounced back with a confidence-boosting 23-run victory over Delhi Capitals in their last outing, which could provide a much-needed lift for the Men in Yellow.

Kolkata Knight Riders are still in search of their maiden win this season. Currently languishing at the bottom of the points table with three defeats from four games, they face an uphill battle. One of their matches was called off due to rain. In their last match against Lucknow Super Giants, Mukul Chowdhury turned the tide and snatched a dramatic victory for his side.
