The loser will play Qualifier 2 against the winner of the Eliminator match to be played on Wednesday (May 23) between Kolkata Knight Riders and Rajasthan Royals, ranked third and fourth, respectively, after the round-robin stage. Qualifier 2 will be played on Friday (May 25). All playoff matches will begin at 7 pm, unlike the 8 pm schedule for Round-Robin matches.

Who has an edge in the CSK vs SRH Qualifier?
Talking about the edge, Chennai Super Kings have it over SRH; not only have they got the better of their rivals twice in the league stage of IPL 2018 but they also have a winning momentum going into the match being played on what promises to be a bouncy track. While CSK stopped the aspirations of Kings XI Punjab by overcoming a difficult start on Sunday in their adopted home base of Pune, Sunrisers Hyderabad lost their three previous games on trot after sealing their playoff spot with a victory on May 10 against Delhi Daredevils.

He noted,"Nevertheless, in the coming days be it Tamil people, Cauvery issue, farmers issue or any other issue, I would continue to voice my support against these issues."

India Budget 2017 Jaitley is under pressure to offer tax giveaways and step up capital and welfare spending Prime Minister Narendra Modi's decision late last year to scrap high-value bank notes has put his finance minister in a bind ahead of the annual Budget next month. Arun Jaitley is under pressure to offer tax giveaways and step up capital and welfare spending to ease the pain from demonetisation, but the economic disruption caused by Modi's jolt has made forecasting next year's revenue outlook a stab in the dark.
