The hosts have had an inconsistent season so far and the result is that now they have six wins and six losses with just two games to go. CSK's fate is still in their hands but a bad outing on Sunday could put them at mercy of other results for qualification to the play-offs.

Mathematically, RR have still not qualified to the play-offs but with eight wins already on board, a Q in front of their name looks just a formality. However, they have lost back-to-back game and would be gunning to get a win and boost their top two chances.
