RCB vs CSK Live Score, IPL Match Today
Hello and welcome to our live coverage of the IPL 2024 match between Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru, on Saturday.
The 17th season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) is heading towards an enthralling climax. With only Kolkata Knight Riders confirmed for the playoffs, seven teams are still in the hunt for the remaining three spots. Among them is Chennai Super Kings, who secured their fifth IPL title last season.
However, CSK, the reigning champions, have struggled to match expectations this year. They have won six of their 13 league games so far, occupying the fourth place in the points table. CSK must win their last match to secure a playoff spot. The Ruturaj Gaikwad-led unit will square off against Royal Challengers Bengaluru on May 18.
It’s a do-or-die game for RCB as well. With Virat Kohli in sublime form, the Bengaluru-based side has looked invincible in their recent matches, having returned to the playoff race on the back of five consecutive victories. As other teams are likely to finish with 14 points, the Net Run Rate (NRR) will come into consideration.
RCB needs to continue their domination over CSK and register a big win at home to claim a top-four spot. If the opponents score 200 runs, RCB must chase down the target in 18.1 overs. If RCB bats first, they must beat CSK by 18 runs to qualify.
