“Chennai have won five of their seven matches now. To qualify, you need to win eight games, so you need to win three out of seven matches and a lot of home games are left and they are winning away from home.”

“They have defeated Mumbai in Mumbai, Bangalore at the Chinnaswamy and Kolkata in Kolkata. Super Kings have won three away matches. They have to play matches at home. The team have full chances of finishing at No. 1 and the Qualifier 1 and Eliminator are at Chepauk, which means they will go to the final.”
