RCB's fairytale resurgent run is up against the might of five-time champions CSK as the two sides lock horns in an epic knockout match. Boasting of a better net run-rate and more points, defending champions CSK (14 points, NRR 0.528) are favourites in the game. RCB has 12 points and a net run-rate of 0.387 and need to win the game by a decent margin to qualify for the playoffs. A washout will take CSK through to the playoffs, while RCB will need to win by at least 18 runs or chase the target with about 11 balls to spare.
