Chennai Super Kings are 2nd in the standings ahead of this weekend’s matches with 15 points. They could confirm their spot in the top-two with a win, something which they have done in five of their last seven completed matches.

The form of Devon Conway (468 runs) has been a huge factor for Chennai’s upsurge while Tushar Deshpande (19 wickets) has been a revelation with the ball.

The men in yellow will hope they can squeeze in their qualification without having to take it to the last match.

MS Dhoni had a knee injury in the last match and this could be a question of risking him or resting him for the upcoming battles.

Kolkata Knight Riders Form

Kolkata Knight Riders are 7th in the standings ahead of this weekend fixtures with ten points from 12 matches. They were ambushed by the Royals in the last match by nine wickets, complicating their chances.

Three batters have aggregated 200+ runs for Kolkata this season but none have gone beyond 258. With the ball, if not for Varun Chakaravarthy (17) and Suyash Sharma (10) they would have been knocked out long back.

The challenge for Kolkata now is to bounce back quickly from that stunning loss at the hands of the Royals in their last match.
