RCB vs CSK Dream11 Prediction Possible 11 Pitch Report: IPL 2023 Match 24 | RCB vs CSK Dream11 Prediction Today | Bengaluru Pitch Report

Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and Chennai Super Kings (CSK) have played out some absolute belters at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium over the years. The last two were out of this world, with CSK chasing 206 in 2018 and RCB winning by one run a year later. MS Dhoni was magnificent on both occasions, and with Thala in terrific form, who knows if there will be another MS special at the Chinnaswamy.

In the context of IPL 2023, this match is certainly an important one. Both teams sit outside the top four but could enter it with victory here, making this contest a test of nerves and steel as well as skill. Both teams still have question marks around their death bowling, but Vijaykumar Vyshak for RCB and the likes of Dwaine Pretorius for CSK can provide impact.

So, will it be CSK who will overcome injuries to their pace attack? Or can RCB overcome their middle order worries and pick up a vital win? This one has the makings of a cracker.

Key Players to Watch/Key Stats

Royal Challengers Bangalore:

• Virat Kohli is seven runs away from 1,000 against CSK. He averages 38.19 with a strike rate of 125.22 in 30 matches.
• Kohli is in fine touch. He has struck three half-centuries in as many matches at the M Chinnaswamy this season. His battle against CSK’s spinners will be key.
• Faf du Plessis has struck 197 runs at an average of 65.66 and strike rate of 168.37 so far this season. At the M Chinnaswamy in IPL 2023, the RCB captain has scored 73, 79* and 22.
• Glenn Maxwell is RCB’s key spin-hitter. He is striking at 188.67 so far in IPL 2023.
• Overall against CSK, Maxwell has hammered 288 runs in 11 matches at a strike rate of 182.28. However, since the start of 2021, Maxwell has scored just 62 runs in four matches.
• Eyes are on the impressive Vijaykumar Vyshak. The seamer’s variations were on show against DC (3/20), with his knuckle ball sure to test CSK as well.
• Mohammed Siraj has taken three wickets in the powerplay at an economy of just 4.70 so far in IPL 2023. Also, three of his seven wickets overall this season have been left-handers, so his battle with Conway, Moeen, Dube and co. can be vital.
• However, Siraj has a horror record against CSK. In eight matches since the start of 2018, he has taken just one wicket at an average of 214.00 and economy of 9.30.

Chennai Super Kings:

• Ruturaj Gaikwad has scored 52 off 36 against Mohammed Siraj without dismissal. Overall against RCB, Gaikwad has struck 181 runs at an average of 45.25 and strike rate of 128.37.
• Moeen Ali is one of CSK’s X-Factor players. He has dismissed Virat Kohli twice in 18 deliveries in all T20s, conceding 26. He also has a good record against Faf du Plessis, dismissing him twice in 28 balls at a strike rate of 100.
• Expect CSK to use Ravindra Jadeja almost exclusively for Glenn Maxwell. In 40 balls in the IPL, the left-arm spinner has dismissed him six times for 49 runs.
• The great MS Dhoni is winding back the clock. And who knows what he has in store today. The CSK captain has a superb record against RCB (750 runs, avg. 39.47, SR 145.07) and at the M Chinnaswamy (631 runs, avg. 63.10, SR 175.28).
• Dhoni has scored 51 off 28 against Siraj without dismissal.
• Maheesh Theekshana took seven wickets in two matches against RCB last season (4/33 and 3/27).

M Chinnaswamy Stadium Bengaluru Pitch Report and Weather

The surface showed signs of slowing down in the RCB-DC game. But, that was a day game. Under lights, expect the ball to skid on nicely, especially in the second innings. In the night games, RCB chased MI’s 171 with 22 balls to spare and LSG prevailed in a high-scoring thriller against Faf’s team.

A warm and clear evening is forecast.
