Effect on the Points table

While Chennai has confirmed their place in playoffs and DD is also confirmed to make into it, this match will have some interesting effect on the points table.

Chennai will be aiming for that number one spot as this win will take them level to Sunrisers Hyderabad if SRH concedes a loss to RCB. This win will also confirm CSK’s place in top two.

Delhi will be looking to avoid the wooden spoon i.e. ending last on the points table. The best way for them to do that is by winning both their matches and hope RCB loses both.
