The 24th game of the 16th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) will see Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) lock horns against Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru.

RCB won their opening game but failed to ride their momentum as they lost their next two outings. However, they beat Delhi Capitals in their last game convincingly to return to winning ways.

After being asked to bat first, Virat Kohli scored 50 at the top of the order as RCB scored 174. They then restricted the Capitals to 151-9, with Vijaykumar Vyshak finishing with figures of 3-20.

CSK, meanwhile, got off to a losing start but bounced back to win the next two games. They faced Rajasthan Royals in their last outing and suffered their second loss of IPL 2023 in a close-fought contest.

Akash Singh, Tushar Deshpande and Ravindra Jadeja picked up two wickets apiece as the Royals were restricted to 175-8. In response, Devon Conway hit a fifty. Ravindra Jadeja (25*) and MS Dhoni (32*) tried hard and took the game to the last over, but CSK fell short by three runs.
