Royal Challengers Bengaluru vs Chennai Super Kings – IPL Today's Match Prediction

In this section, we provide our RCB vs CSK match predictions, which will hopefully help you bet on the 2024 IPL more confidently.

  • RCB vs. CSK Win Probability: RCB (52%), CSK (48%)
  • In the last five IPL games between both teams, the Royal Challengers have won one and the Super Kings have won four.
  • At this point, RCB seems like a well-oiled unit, having won five of their last five matches.
  • For CSK, however, the problem is that their opening pair has struggled to score runs in the powerplay overs, and their spinners haven't been very effective. A lot will depend on how the Chennai bowlers perform on a good batting track in Bengaluru.
  • The Chinnaswamy is a high-scoring ground. However, there are chances of rain, and if the conditions become overcast, fast bowlers could get some swing due to the moisture on the surface. The average 1st innings score in the last five IPL matches at this venue is 197 runs.
RCB vs CSK MATCH PREDICTION

Although RCB is riding high on a five-match winning streak, they have a poor record against CSK, having won only one of their last five head-to-head encounters. Also, they do not have much to boast about at home playing against the men in yellow. However, Chennai hasn't been great either, winning only two and losing four of their six ‘away' games.

That said, we at CBA are backing the Chennai Super Kings to win this all-important contest and book their playoffs berth.

Key Players

Royal Challengers Bengaluru

  • Virat Kohli

The run machine has been leading from the front, smashing 661 runs in 13 matches. Kohli's brilliance has powered RCB into playoff contention, and with a phenomenal record against CSK (1006 runs in 32 matches), he's definitely the player to watch out for.

  • Rajat Patidar

The underrated Patidar has notched up five 50+ scores in the last seven matches and is also the third-highest runscorer (320 runs in 13 matches) for his team this season. His explosive batting in the middle overs has helped RCB win games, and he’ll have a huge role to play in the absence of Will Jacks.

  • Cameron Green

He scored 32 with the bat, took one wicket, and ran out Tristan Stubbs in the previous match against the Delhi Capitals, winning a crucial encounter for his team. After his initial struggles, Cameron Green has now become a reliable finisher, having put on 190 runs with the bat and picked up eight wickets in 11 matches this season.

Chennai Super Kings

  • Ruturaj Gaikwad

The captain has led his team with the bat, scoring 583 runs in 13 matches. He has always delivered in high-pressure games, and with his team on the verge of qualification and a possible top-two finish, Ruturaj will have a huge role to play in this crucial fixture.

  • Daryl Mitchell

The 32-year-old has played a crucial role in CSK’s success this season. In the last match, Daryl Mitchell scored 22 runs off 13 balls, a good knock in the context of the game. This season so far, the Kiwi has amassed 314 runs in 12 matches and also made major contributions on the field.

  • Ravindra Jadeja

He has had a phenomenal record against RCB throughout his IPL career. This season, the southpaw has scored 225 runs and picked up eight wickets in 13 matches. Overall against RCB, he has a tally of 316 runs and 26 wickets.
