It’s second v third in the latest match of the 2014 IPL as two-time winners Chennai Super Kings host Rajasthan Royals in Ranchi.
Chennai have won seven of their nine games to date and are level on points with leaders Kings XI Punjab, but are knocked down the table by virtue of a slightly lower net run rate.
Rajasthan meanwhile have won six of their nine fixtures, with one of those three defeats coming against the Super Kings earlier in IPL 7.
They beat Royal Challengers Bangalore in impressive fashion in their last outing and in youngster Karun Nair appear to have found a consistent opener.
Nair is well supported at the crease by Ajinkya Rahane, Sanju Samson and Steve Smith, although despite some good knocks more is needed with the bat from captain Shane Watson.
Not that the hosts are too shabby in the top order themselves, with Dwayne Smith, Brendon McCullum, Faf du Plessis and skipper MS Dhoni all in fine form.
CSK all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja has also been potent with both bat and ball and last time out against the Royals posted the best bowling figures of the tournament so far.
