Royal Challengers Bangalore vs Chennai Super Kings Match Prediction: who will win?
RCB will be desperate to shake off the tag of Chokers as they have fallen short on so many occasions when the pressure was on in playoff matches. CSK on the other hand have thrived on pressure matches, none more so that last season’s final when they won the title on the last ball of the match. The RCB resurgence has been nothing short of miraculous as they were on a six match losing streak and had almost no chance of making the playoffs. The change of mindset has been phenomenal as the batsmen have adopted an attacking approach which has changed everything. Virat Kohli and Faf Du Plessis have been the chief catalysts for the resurgence. If these two get off to a flying start, they will win this match.
RCB vs CSK Toss Prediction
The M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru has long been one of the highest scoring grounds in the IPL due to its small size. Defending a total at this venue is very difficult therefore the team winning the toss should look at bowling first.
RCB vs CSK Top Run scorer Prediction
Virat Kohli was back to his best in the last match and we expect him to top score in this game as well.
Royal Challengers Bangalore vs Chennai Super Kings Top Wicket Taker Prediction
We are backing Ravindra Jadeja to be the top wicket taker in this match.
Royal Challengers Bangalore vs Chennai Super Kings Betting Preview
The inconsistency of the CSK has much to do with their struggles to settle on an opening partner for Captain Ruturaj Gaikwad. He has been a run machine for his team but he often takes time to settle in before increasing his strike rate. This has meant that CSK is one of the lowest scoring teams in the tournament during the Powerplay. Rachin Ravindra would have been the perfect foil as he scores very quickly but he has failed to turn his promising starts into big scores. RCB had similar problems during their losing streak but their openers have been transformed into scoring fast in recent matches. The momentum of RCH coupled with their home support will see them win this match.
Top Tips for Royal Challengers Bangalore vs Chennai Super Kings
Each team to score at least 200 runs at odds of 2.25

Total wickets in the match to be under 12.5 at odds of 1.80
