On Monday, the Indian Premier League's sixth and seventh-ranked teams, Chennai Super Kings and Rajasthan Royals, will face off against each other in a match of immense consequence, with both teams' play-off hopes on the line.
CSK and RR have massively underperformed so far and find themselves near the bottom of the points table in this latest edition of the competition.
Both teams have six points from nine games, but Chennai Super Kings are just about edging it on net run rate.
With only five matches left, wins are crucial for both sides, and if either are hoping to be in the playoffs come November, they'll need a good result in this encounter.
Both teams have also lost their previous matches, with both defeats coming on Saturday. The MS Dhoni-led CSK lost to league-leaders Delhi Capitals by five wickets, while RR were handed a seven-wicket defeat by Virat Kohli's Royal Challengers Bangalore.
