CSK vs RR: Match Preview:
CSK’s chances of qualifying for the playoffs took a huge blow with the loss they suffered against Gujarat Titans in their last match. The Titans thrashed the reigning champions by 35 runs to condemn them to sixth defeat in 12 games this season.
Following the loss, CSK are level on points with Lucknow Super Giants and Delhi Capitals while three teams are even ahead of them. With just two league games left for CSK, they just cannot afford more slip ups. The defending champions have struggled to consistency this season and would be desperate to get back to winning ways.
RR, on the other hand, are comfortably placed at the second spot in the points table with 16 points and have one feet in the playoffs. While their qualification to the playoffs is now looking like a mere formality, RR would be looking to win as many games as possible to seal a top two spot and have the momentum with them.
IPL 2024 points table:
RR are currently at the second spot in the points table with eight wins from 11 games. CSK are at the fourth spot with six wins and as many losses.
