The hosts, who were confirmed to be eliminated just more than a week back courtesy of a belligerent 10-wicket mauling of the visitors, Lucknow Super Giants, will be playing for pride, and would want to end their season on a high after sitting in the bottom-most position on the points table.
Meanwhile, LSG, who lost the plot just when they were sailing towards the playoffs, with three back-to-back losses, have an outside chance mathematically speaking, but it seems almost improbable in reality.
Both teams have lost four in their last five and would want to end their respective seasons on a sweet note.
