Why RCB vs CSK match is very important in context of playoffs?

RCB, who are on a five-match winning streak, still have a chance to make it to the playoffs if they beat Chennai by 18 runs or more. While Chasing, Bengaluru have to overhaul whatever target with 11 or more balls to spare in order to qualify at 14 points and better net run rate against Chennai. 

For Chennai the equation is very simple, win the match or lose by less than 18 runs.

Coming to the team dynamics, with Will Jacks on national duty, Glenn Maxwell is expected to find a place in the RCB Playing 11. Meanwhile, Moeen Ali has went back to UK for national duty, Richard Gleeson is expected to replace the English southpaw in CSK Playing.
