But Chennai have all to play for as they would look to earn those crucial two points to secure their top-two finish.
May 18, 06:23 PM (IST)
It’s a dead rubber as CSK are already through to the playoffs and DD are out of the tournament, and the result of this match won’t affect the race for the playoffs.
