Chennai Super Kings playoff scenario IPL 2023

  1. The Chennai Super Kings are currently placed second in the Indian Premier League 2023 points table and are on 15 points from 13 matches. 
  2. The team has one match left in their Indian Premier League 2023 campaign against the Delhi Capitals and the team must win the match if they want to finish in the top four teams of the tournament. 
  3. If the team loses to Delhi Capitals in their last match they will have to depend upon Lucknow Super Giants to lose at least one of their match with a huge margin so that they both will get tied at 15-15 points and based on net run rate Chennai may qualify for the final four round. 
  4. CSK would also like PBKS and RCB to lose one of their matches so that they both cannot go up to 16 points.
