Royal Challengers Bengaluru vs Chennai Super Kings prediction

Royal Challengers Bengaluru got their title defence underway with a resounding nine-wicket win at home to Sunrisers Hyderabad, as Virat Kohli once again demonstrated his brilliance. The Indian cricketing legend top scored with 69 not out in a successful run chase of 202 which was completed in just 15.4 overs, a notable achievement when considering the speed of RCB’s chase.

Chennai Super Kings cannot put anything together right now as the bowling unit especially are taking significant punishment. They’ve taken just seven wickets and most recently couldn’t defend 209 against Punjab Kings. That doesn’t bode well for them against a side of RCB’s quality from a batting perspective. At home, RCB should cash in on facing this Chennai team and should be backed to win.
