IPL 2019, Match 1, CSK vs RCB: 5 things to expect from the opener 

#2 A thrilling finish on the cards

The rivalry will be renewed between the two teams

Chennai Super Kings may have won the IPL title last year, but it didn't come easy and they had to fight for everything. A lot of wins came from the jaws of defeat and one cannot say they were dominant from the word go. They unearthed a number of match winners with each player taking responsibility whenever required.

On the other hand, Royal Challengers Bangalore were just the opposite. There were numerous instances during the course of the tournament where they just let the advantage slip away from their hands.

This could be the difference between the two sides yet again when they take on each other on what could be a mouth-watering contest between the two important teams of IPL in terms of fanfare. It will surely go down to the wire, like always.
