Chennai Super Kings have solidified their place on top of the Indian Premier League (IPL) points table after a nail-biting win over Rajasthan Royals on Thursday night.

Mitchell Santner hit a six off the last ball of the match to help Chennai reach their target of 152.

Friday's only IPL match features the Kolkata Knight Riders taking on the Delhi Capitals.

Play from Eden Gardens gets underway at 6:30 PM UAE time.
