Chennai Super Kings will take on Rajasthan Royals in their tenth match of IPL 2020 at Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi tonight. 

Chennai Super Kings with 6 points from 9 matches is sitting at 7th place and to stay alive in the race of playoffs they have to win this match. Their batting lineup of Sam Curran, Faf du Plessis, Shane Watson, and Ambati Rayudu is in good form and all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja is doing very well in the finisher's role and the team will hope captain MS Dhoni too will come good.

In bowling, Deepak Chahar and Sam Curran will be key with the new ball, and in Bravo's absence, they need someone like Josh Hazlewood who can control things in middle and death overs. 

On the other hand, Rajasthan Royals is at bottom of the points table with 6 points from 9 matches and it's a do or die contest for them as well. From the last two matches, they are playing well but need to do much better to cross the winning line. Ben Stokes, Jos Buttler, Sanju Samson, and Steven Smith these four have to step up with the bat while in bowling Jofra Archer and Kartik Tyagi have been good so far but the likes of Jaydev Unadkat and Shreyas Gopal haven't performed well yet.
