With six wins and as many defeats, the Royals sit sixth on the table with 12 points and still have multiple qualification scenarios in play ahead of their remaining fixtures against LSG and Mumbai Indians. Two wins will take them to 16 points, which should be enough to secure a playoff spot outright if only one of Sunrisers Hyderabad or Chennai Super Kings reaches the 16-point mark.
If CSK win both their remaining games and SRH beat RCB, qualification could come down to net run rate. The Royals could also sneak through with 14 points, provided several other results fall in their favour.
Royals head into this game on the back of a hat-trick of defeats, two of which have come against Delhi Capitals. They have also lost their last three home matches, piling further pressure on the side. Yashasvi Jaiswal's dip in returns, the lower middle order's lack of runs, and their struggles with the ball in the Powerplay have all contributed to the slide.
After winning five of their first seven games, the Royals have managed just one victory in their last five and will be desperate to halt the slump and build momentum heading into the back end of the competition.
