RCB currently holds the fourth position with seven wins and seven losses, accumulating 14 points. Meanwhile, CSK occupies the fifth spot with an identical record of seven wins and seven losses, but their lower net-run rate has pushed them down to fifth place.
In the chase for 219 runs, along with the additional requirement to reach at least 201 runs for playoff qualification, CSK faced a setback early on as their skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad was dismissed for a golden duck by Glenn Maxwell.
