CSK will take on KXIP in Pune.
Kings XI Punjab will face the uphill task of not only pulling the rug from under the feet of formidable Chennai Super Kings but also boosting their net run rate in the last IPL round-robin match to salvage any hopes of sneaking into the play-offs.
Punjab had started the season with a string of wins before going off the boil. Currently placed at the seventh position with 12 points, Kings XI still have a slender chance of making it to the play-off.
If Mumbai Indians win the match against Delhi Daredevils then it will be all over for the Punjab side. If MI lose, KXIP will need to beat CSK by more than 53 runs or with more than 38 balls to spare.

Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Kings XI Punjab (KXIP) have played 19 matches against each other; 18 matches in Indian Premier League (IPL) and 1 match in Champions League T20 (CLT20).

CSK v/s KXIP prediction
The match's intensity will depend a lot on the previous match's result. If DD beat MI, KXIP will try their best to beat CSK by big margin to qualify for the play-offs. Otherwise they will try to finish IPL 2018 on a winng note. On the other hand CSK be looking to secure a big win to top the table. CSK look the better side and might win it.
