The MS Dhoni-led side, which has played eight matches so far, has managed to register just two wins and has a negative NRR of 1.392. The side is coming off a shocking nine-wicket defeat at the hands of arch-rivals, Mumbai Indians. CSK's chances of qualifying for the playoffs are close to nil.
On the other hand, SRH also has had the same story to tell, with two wins in eight games. The previous edition's finalists haven't been able to find their footing in this season and have been in the second half of the table since the beginning. While their qualification chances are also minimal, the upcoming clash will be a dead rubber as it won't have much impact on the table.

Pitch report
The Chepauk pitch is known to help spinners, with conditions becoming more favourable for them as the match progresses due to the surface slowing down. Dew may influence the pitch's behaviour, particularly during the latter stages of the game. At the MA Chidambaram Stadium, spinners are expected to play an important role, and a total above 160 could be considered good on this surface. Best players from both of the teams
