CSK vs MI: The last time these two sides met there was a thrilling encounter that saw MS Dhoni provide a thrilling finish. Few weeks later with both sides on the way out of the tournament, they have another encounter.

While the Mumbai Indians have no hope of qualifying and can only play party spoilers, the Chennai Super Kings have a faint chance of going through. They need to win all the games and will then have to hope for an unlikely amount of results going their way, practically ending their hopes to get to the next round.
