CSK has already won 6 out of 12 matches and must win the next 2 games to qualify for the playoffs. While having 14 points may give them an outside chance on paper, they surely want to get 16 and cement their chances. They have won 2 out of their last 5 matches.
RR, on the other hand, is more consistent. They have won 8 of their 11 matches and are currently in 2nd position on the points table. Rajasthan, however, are coming from 2 back-to-back losses even though they are technically in for the playoffs with 16 points already from 11 games.
