Before this match, the situation of both the teams is completely different. In its first match, RCB gave an indication of its strength by achieving the target of 202 runs in just 16 overs against Sunrisers Hyderabad. On the other hand, CSK bowlers have been seen struggling in both the initial matches. He has taken only 7 wickets in 2 matches, which is a matter of concern for the team.

CSK clash with RCB
Sometimes this match used to be one-sided, where CSK had the upper hand. In the first 29 matches, CSK had won 69 percent of the matches. But now RCB is gradually reducing this gap. In the last 6 matches, RCB has registered 4 wins and currently they have a winning streak of 3 matches against CSK.

RCB has a chance to become table topper
Talking about team combination, RCB looks more balanced. Batsmen like Virat Kohli, Phil Salt and captain Rajat Patidar are in great form. Bhuvneshwar Kumar can play an important role in bowling, especially when there is still doubt about the fitness of Josh Hazlewood.

CSK bowling is weak
On the other hand, the biggest challenge for CSK is their bowling. Team management may have to make changes in its composition. Jamie Overton or Akil Hussain may get a chance, so that the bowling can be strengthened. In batting, big innings will be expected from Sanju Samson and captain Ruturaj Gaikwad.

Special attention will be on the performance of Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Sanju Samson. Bhuvneshwar had shown excellent control in both the powerplay and death overs in the last match. Whereas Samson has not been able to play big innings so far this season and he is expected to make a comeback in this match.

What will be the nature of the pitch?
Talking about the pitch, M. Chinnaswamy Stadium is considered a paradise for batsmen. The run rate here is very high and scores of more than 200 are common. In the last few matches, the teams chasing the target have got more success, due to which the toss can also play an important role.

According to the Meteorological Department, there will be light clouds during the match and the temperature will be around 26 degrees Celsius. In such a situation, fans can get to see another high-scoring and exciting match.
