RCB vs CSK Match Preview
The hosts, RCB, are a very different side this season, with batters scoring runs and bowlers clicking. Currently positioned second on the points table with seven wins in ten games, RCB will look to bolster their chances of finishing in the top two. Their power-packed batting lineup of RCB, consisting of Phil Salt, Virat Kohli, and Tim David, will look to exploit CSK’s bowling attack.
Meanwhile, the five-time champions will aim to take away some positives after a disappointing run this season. Sam Curran and Dewald Brevis‘ knocks in the previous two encounters have shown some promise, but they still have a lot to prove when it comes to their overall performance. However, CSK’s spin trio of Ravindra Jadeja, Ravichandran Ashwin, and Noor Ahmad could exploit Chinnaswamy’s occasional turn by targeting RCB’s middle order.
