However, the IPL 2020 campaign of Chennai Super Kings is almost over barring technical formalities and a win or defeat will not make much difference to them.

But that will not be an easy task for the Super Kings as they look toothless and incapable of staging a fightback. The CSK were had lost four wickets for just three runs in the Power Play segment against Mumbai Indians pace bowlers Trent Boult and Jasprit Bumrah, and they will be up against a capable trio of Chris Morris, Navdeep Saini and Mohammed Siraj on Sunday.
