Preview:

In a tournament like the IPL, it doesn’t take much to slip away in the sand. Over the course of 14 games, teams have got to be as consistent as possible to ensure a spot in the top four. However, that hasn’t been the case for the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Rajasthan Royals (RR) unfortunately. At this point in the tournament, both the teams are struggling with only three wins in nine games.

With five more games left for them, they have got to turn things around quickly. In their respective last games, both these sides have got themselves to blame for the losses. While Jaydev Unadkat threw it away by conceding 25 in the penultimate over against the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), Ravindra Jadeja failed to defend 17 runs off the final over against Delhi Capitals (DC). It is a wonderful opportunity for both these teams to bounce back and stay alive in the tournament.
