Get all the details for the IPL 2024 between Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and Chennai Super Kings (CSK), including match preview, head-to-head stats, probable XI, Dream11 Predictions and live streaming details

The 16th season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) looks to be heading towards an enthralling climax. With only Kolkata Knight Riders confirmed for the playoffs, a total of seven teams have been on the hunt for the remaining three spots. One of them is Chennai Super Kings, who secured their fifth IPL title last season. The reigning champions have failed to match the expectations this year. They have won six of their 13 league games so far, occupying the fourth place in the points table. CSK must triumph in their last match to punch their ticket to the playoff round. The Ruturaj Gaikwad-led unit will square off against Royal Challengers Bengaluru at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium on May 18.

It is a do-or-die game for RCB as well. With Virat Kohli in sublime form, the Bengaluru-based side has looked invincible in the last few matches. They have returned to the playoff race on the back of five consecutive victories. As some other teams are likely to finish with 14 points, the NRR will come into consideration. RCB will need to continue the domination over CSK and register a big win in the home game to claim a top-four spot. If the opponents produce 200 runs, RCB must chase down the target in 18.1 overs. If the hosts bat first at Chinnaswamy, they must beat CSK by 18 runs to earn qualification.
