CSK, after their defeat on Sunday, can finish on 17 points maximum, which ensures a Titans victory will guarantee them a double bite of the playoffs.

The top two IPL teams take part in the Qualifier 1, where the winner goes directly into the final, whereas the loser gets another chance to qualify as they clash subsequently against the winner of the Eliminator (3rd vs 4th).

A Loss ensures SRH's Exit

Contrastingly, a defeat for SRH will curtail their season. Aiden Markram and co. are currently 9th in the table and if they fail to win today, it will be done and dusted for this season.

Ideally, SRH require victory by a big margin to boost their NRR, which is the second worst among all teams. SRH are currently on 8 points after 11 matches. Even three victories in their last three matches won't ensure their passage to playoffs, as they require results going in their way in order to qualify.
