While both sides have played nine games each, their positions on the IPL 2024 points table paint entirely different pictures.
With 10 points, CSK find themselves in the top four and are almost assured of making it to the playoffs based on their current form.
On the other hand, PBKS have a mountain to climb if they are to make it to the playoffs. With just three wins in nine outings, the Kings lie in eighth position on the points table. They'll need to win all their games from here on to stay in the hunt.
