IPL 2024 Match 68, RCB vs CSK Match Prediction – Who will win today’s IPL match between RCB and CSK

In this article, we will be analyzing the RCB vs CSK Match Prediction for the IPL 2024 Match 68 playoffs at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on Saturday, May 18. The Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) will be locking horns with the defending champions Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on Saturday, May 18. The two sides faced each other in the opening game of the season, when CSK won convincingly by six wickets.

The home team has won their last five matches, successfully defending twice. For RCB to have a chance of qualifying for the playoffs, they must win against CSK. If they bat first, they need to set a target and defend it with a margin of 18 runs. Conversely, if they bat second, they must chase down the CSK’s total within 18 overs.

Meanwhile, CSK have won seven out of their 13 matches so far, and their latest victory was against Rajasthan Royals by five wickets. However, CSK find themselves in a tricky position, as they are in a do-or-die situation too. To qualify for the playoffs, the five-time champions must defeat RCB and confirm their playoffs berth.

M Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru Pitch Report:

The surface at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium favors the batters. Due to the lightning-fast outfield and the relatively smaller size of the ground, high-scoring matches are typically expected at this venue. The bowlers face a challenging task in preventing the opposing teams from racking up substantial scores, as they need to remain highly vigilant and on their toes throughout the contest. The team that wins the toss will look to bowl first at this venue.
