It is face-off of the stragglers as the teams are placed in the bottom two spots of the standings. CSK (2 points) ended a three-game losing streak in their previous outing, getting the better of Delhi Capitals by 23 runs at home.

KKR (1 point), meanwhile, are yet to register a win this season and their solitary point is from a washed out encounter with Punjab Kings. Ajinkya Rahane's men must discover form soon and in case they don't do that tonight, the route to playoffs will become that much more arduous for them.
