BLR vs CHE Match Preview

The Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Chennai Super Kings are gearing up for a significant showdown in the IPL 2024 at M Chinnaswamy Stadium on Saturday (May 18). The outcome of this match is crucial as the winner will secure the final playoff spot for this season. Rain poses a threat to the game in Bengaluru and if the match is washed out, the visiting team will automatically secure a playoff spot. Bengaluru needs to win and gain two points with a substantial margin (by 18 runs or by chasing the target in 18.1 overs) to qualify for the playoffs.

Chennai Super Kings secured a victory against Rajasthan Royals in their last match, making them the favourites to clinch the final playoff spot. Under the leadership of Ruturaj Gaikwad, Chennai achieved a notable triumph over Bengaluru in the 2024 season opener held in Chennai. Bengaluru, on the other hand, is coming into this game with five consecutive wins and their excellent form coupled with home advantage could be significant. Despite this, RCB has struggled against CSK historically, winning only one of their last five encounters.

Top Captaincy picks

  • Rajat Patidar - Rajat Patidar has been batting splendidly in the last few matches. The middle-order batter has been menacing against the spinners which can be crucial in the middle overs.

Players to avoid

  • Mahipal Lomror - The left-hander is likely to bat in the lower order and might not get enough balls to make a significant impact with the bat. He might not fetch many points and can be avoided for this game.

  • Shardul Thakur - Thakur is unlikely to get many wickets here as well as the pitch might not suit his style of bowling. He can be avoided for this game.
