How CSK Can Miss Out On A Spot In IPL 2024 Playoffs:

Situation 1: Up in opposition to RCB of their closing league match of the season, CSK would wish to keep away from a defeat by 18 runs, in the event that they publish 200 runs on the board. Even a 17-run defeat would see them stay forward of RCB when it comes to Internet Run Charge. However, a defeat by 18 or extra runs would see RCB topple them for a spot in high 4.
