While RCB dominated their last game in Bengaluru on Saturday by 23 runs against the Delhi Capitals. CSK is coming into this conflict on the back of misfortune because of the Rajasthan Royals in Chennai last week. On the other hand, CSK has the edge, having won 19 out of the 29 matches between the different sides.
MS Dhoni, the captain of CSK, is dealing with a knee injury. Ben Stokes, Deepak Chahar, and Sisanda Magala have already been ruled out. Matheesha Pathirana from Sri Lanka could be brought in to replace Magala. In contrast, RCB will likely use the same starting lineup as their last match against the Delhi Capitals.
