The 68th match of the ongoing 15th season of the Indian Premier League will be played between Rajasthan Royals and Chennai Super Kings at the Brabourne Stadium on Friday.
All but qualified for the playoffs this season, Rajasthan would be looking for a victory in a bid to finish as the second-ranked team on the points table. Out of contention in the playoffs race, defending champions Chennai would want to end on a winning note in what has been a forgettable season for them.
