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.

IPL 2024: RCB vs CSK Point Table Stadning

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.
