CSK vs RR Match Preview
After having a ball of a time, Rajasthan Royals (RR) have hit a slight roadblock, however, there is nothing to stress about. The Sanju Samson-led side is nicely placed at the second spot in the IPL Points Table, with 8 wins from 11 matches. They are likely to proceed to the IPL 2024 playoff comfortably.
If the inaugural champions manage to win at least one of their remaining three matches, they will be through to the next stage of the tournament, joining KKR, who qualified last night.
On the other side, Chennai Super Kings (CSK) are in a spot of bother. They need to win all of their remaining matches to be in contention. Even if CSK wins both of its matches, the net run rate will come into play, given that Delhi Capitals also wins both of its games.
So, not only does CSK need the win, but they need huge wins to keep up their net run rate, which will eventually take them through to the IPL 2024 playoffs.
The last six games have resulted in four losses and just two wins for the Ruturaj Gaikwad-led CSK. Though they started well in the tournament, they somehow kept slipping away to be where they are today.

MA Chidambaram Stadium Pitch Report
The MA Chidambaram Stadium has also seen in excess of 200 runs this season. The surfaces are tailor-made for the batters to enjoy their outings. The match will be played on pitch number 6, which is a black soil surface. The two fixtures held on this pitch have gone on to be high-scoring matches. Batting first has been historically a more fruitful decision for the skippers, however, it remains to be seen what the captains do in the afternoon match on Sunday.
