Already out of play-offs, Chennai Super Kings are ready to play party-poopers with an aim to foil Kolkata Knight Riders’ desperate bid for a victory in an Indian Premier League game on Thursday.
KKR has won and lost 6 games each and is with 12 points from 12 games, meanwhile Chennai has registered 8 points by winning 4 games. KKR could get into finals smoothly if it wins the next two encounters while CSK, currently at the bottom of the eight-team table and are only playing for pride.
MS Dhoni's #CSK can't make it to playoffs but they can play their part in deciding the top four.#KKR are currently 5th so they will aim to beat CSK today and bolster their chances of qualifying for the playoffs. #CSKvKKR #IPL2020
