Preview

CSK Vs RCB: Four games in and CSK are off to the worst possible start. They lost all four games, are struggling to compete, finding new holes in each game, and really struggling to find quality. They are fading fast and will need to do something big if they are to reignite hopes of making the playoffs.

RCB is going better with three wins in four games. Their batting line-up is very deep and the bowling attack has some quality as well. Dinesh Karthik is one player who has been spectacular in particular. He is finishing games with ease and is looking very reliable at the back end of an innings.

Key Players

Ravindra Jadeja

Chennai Super Kings are losing badly and their struggles are even in all aspects of the game. They need a heroic performance badly and the best player to provide such an impact is the captain himself. He can make an impact with bat, ball and on the field, and will need to step up big time if Chennai Super Kings hope to get their campaign back on track.

Wanindu Hasaranga

The Sri Lankan superstar is having a great time in the IPL. His price tag came under question after the auction, but Hasaranga is effectively and silently doing the job for his time. He is among the wickets and his aggression is making a huge difference in the middle–overs.

CSK Vs RCB Match Tips

CSK are struggling badly and look nowhere near winning. RCB though are doing well in all aspects and despite the absence of Harshal Patel, RCB has a strong chance. CSK though has a strong history and are known to fight hard, which gives them a fair shout as they hope for someone to step up in the upcoming game.

Match Prediction: CSK will win the match.
