M.Chinnaswamy Stadium

Royal Challengers Bengaluru take on Chennai Super Kings in the 68th game of the 2024 Indian Premier League at the M.Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru. The game is scheduled to be played on May 18 at 07:30 PM IST.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru vs Chennai Super Kings Chance of Winning

Chennai Super Kings have had a promising start to the campaign but since then they have looked vulnerable with their middle order struggling throughout the campaign and lack of options to bowl at the death has cost CSK thus far. In the last game, CSK registered an important win against Rajasthan Royals.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru have had a dismal campaign but have gone on an outrageous run as they have won five games in a row and a win in the upcoming game could see them seal a playoff spot this season. As per our calculations, RCB are favourites in the upcoming game.

  • Royal Challengers Bengaluru’ chances of winning - 55%
  • Chennai Super Kings’ chances of winning - 45%

Royal Challengers Bengaluru vs Chennai Super Kings Prediction & Betting Tips 2023

The wicket at the venue looks like a graveyard for the bowlers and we expect this to be a high scoring game. The average first innings score at the venue is 193.3 runs and with the quality that both teams possess it wouldn’t be a surprise if both teams manage to score 200 plus. We believe the total score would be extremely high.

As we have stated earlier we expect this to be a high scoring game as both sides have a terrific batting attack especially at the top which could play a vital role in this game. Considering all the facts that have been stated earlier, we believe the total boundary count to be high in the upcoming game.

Historically the venue has favoured the team bowling first. As we expect rain in this fixture, we believe both sides would prefer to bowl first even though the team batting first has won three of the last four matches.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru vs Chennai Super Kings Betting Odds

Royal Challengers Bengaluru to have a better opening partnership than Chennai Super Kings

Chennai Super Kings and Royal Challengers Bengaluru go head to head in what seems like a winner takes all like a game as RCB are two points shy of CSK and a win by a margin of 18 runs or with two overs to spare would see them leapfrog over CSK and seal the final playoff spot. One of the main reasons for RCB’s revival this season has been their openers who have given great starts in games and their bowlers have bagged early wickets in each of the last five games which is probably why RCB has managed a better opening stand in each of the last five games. On the other hand, CSK has conceded a bigger opening partnership in the last two matches which makes us believe RCB would end up with a better opening partnership in the upcoming game and its a great opportunity to make some quick financial gains.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru vs Chennai Super Kings Top Team Batters

Virat Kohli to be Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s top batter

Even though Virat Kohli did not have a great game against Delhi Capitals, we are still going to back him as he has scored three half centuries in the last five matches and with 661 runs so far, he is the leading run scorer in the tournament which makes him our top pick in the upcoming game.

Ruturaj Gaikwad to be Chennai Super Kings’ top batter

Ruturaj Gaikwad played a sublime knock in the last game against Rajasthan Royals as he remained unbeaten and took his team over the line which could turn out to be a pivotal result for CSK. With 583 runs, he is the leading run scorer for CSK which makes him our top pick in the upcoming game.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru vs Chennai Super Kings Top Team Bowlers

Mohammed Siraj to be Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s top bowler

Mohammed Siraj did not have a great start to the tournament but managed to turn things around which coincided with RCB’s fortune as in the last few games, Siraj has bowled brilliantly and has has bagged seven wickets in the last four matches which makes him our top pick in the upcoming game.

Tushar Deshpande to be Chennai Super Kings’ top bowler

With the absence of Matheesha Pathirana and Deepak Chahar, the onus would be on Tushar Deshpande to once again lead the line in what seems like a make or break game for CSK. In the last four matches, he has bagged ten wickets which makes him out top pick once again in the upcoming game.

Our Prediction

Favorites to win

Royal Challengers Bengaluru

Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Chennai Super Kings go head to head in what seems like a knockout game as the winner of this game would most likely make the playoffs this season. CSK haven’t looked convincing in the second half of the campaign which is probably why the bookmakers have gone with the home side and we believe you should do the same as RCB would register an important win in the upcoming game.
  • Royal Challengers Bengaluru to win @ 1.82 (PariMatch)
