Chennai Super Kings have no chances nearly to make it to the playoffs and are only playing for pride. They must look to play their brand of cricket.

Chennai batsman have been amongst the runs this tournament and they will look to make use of it. While bowling wise also they have good options but they need to come good.
CSK have won their games against RCB, MI, SRH & DC. They have lost to KKR, LSG, PBKS (2), SRH, GT & RCB.
On the other hand, Mumbai Indians have had a poor IPL and it is about to get over for them. They will though hope to finish on a winning note.
