Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) take on defending champions Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in match number 68 of IPL 2024 at the M.Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on Saturday, May 18. The result of the clash will decide which team progresses to the playoffs, joining Kolkata Knight Riders, Rajasthan Royals and Sunrisers Hyderabad.
After six straight losses, RCB have won five matches in a row. However, a mere victory over CSK will not be enough for them to seal a place in the playoffs. If they score 200 batting first, they need to win by at least 18 runs. If they are chasing, they need to get home with at least 11 balls to spare. In case of a five-over contest, things would get trickier. They would need to chase a target of 75 in just 3.1 overs.
For Chennai, the equation is simple. They need a win or one point (in case of a washout) to book a place in the top-four. However, CSK's consistency has been an issue, which would give Bengaluru hope.
