RCB vs CSK IPL 2024 Match 68th Dream11 Prediction:?The 68th match of IPL 2024 will take place at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium?in Bengaluru on Saturday, May 18. It will be a match between Faf du Plessis's Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and Ruturaj Gaikwad's Chennai (CSK).?The rivalry between Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the IPL is well-established, with CSK holding a considerable advantage in their head-to-head record. Out of their 33 encounters, CSK has emerged victorious 22 times, while RCB has managed to secure victory in only ten matches.
In the IPL 2024 points table, Chennai Super Kings (CSK), the defending champions, hold the advantage with 13 points and a net run-rate (NRR) of 0.528, compared to Royal Challengers Bangalore's (RCB) 12 points and an NRR of 0.387. Historically, the match venue has favored CSK, as they have lost only once in eight encounters at this ground against the home team. However, the looming threat of rain adds an element of uncertainty. A washout would see CSK advance due to their superior points and NRR, while RCB needs a clear victory to progress¡ªby at least 18 runs or by chasing the target with approximately 11 balls to spare.
Dark clouds start to gather over Chinnaswamy Stadium before the game. Currently, it's raining near the Bengaluru airport, but the skies are clear around the Chinnaswamy Stadium. Fans will be hopeful that the weather remains the same for the start of the match. Covers are currently in place, although there's no rain at the moment.
Predicting a winner is indeed challenging given the contrasting recent form of Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), who have won five out of five matches, and Chennai Super Kings (CSK), who have only won two in their last five outings. However, CSK's strong record against RCB adds weight to their credentials. The toss will also play a crucial role in determining the outcome. Considering historical trends, we'll lean towards backing CSK to emerge victorious in this encounter.
