The qualification is at stake for both the sides, as IPL 2024 have seen its 3 qualifying sides in the form of Kolkata Knight Riders, Rajasthan Royals, and Sunrisers Hyderabad, with KKR assured of finishing at top of the table and playing the Qualifier 1 at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. The 2nd and 3rd spot is still not determined and even the fourth one, as a CSK win can even lead them to a 2nd place finish, if both SRH and RR lose their final game.
Mumbai Indians, Punjab Kings, Gujaratv Titans, Delhi Capitals, and Lucknow Super Giants have been eliminated from IPL 2024, and the winner of tonight's fixture will determine the final qualifying team, and also the final eliminated team.
A CSK win will result in direct qualification for the side, whereas, RCB needs calculations on their side to ensure a qualification, with Net Run Rate being the decisive factor, as an RCB win will lead to both the sides finishing with 14 points each.
