Date & Time : 12th April 2022, 7:30 PM IST
Venue : Dr. DY Patil Sports Academy, Mumbai
Chennai Super Kings after a disappointing start to their 2022 IPL will look to get their first win. They need to keep believing in themselves and play their brand of cricket.
CSK captain Ravindra Jadeja is yet to see his tactics come to fruition. Chennai have batted well but their weak link in batting maybe Ruturaj Gaikwad. In terms of bowling newcomers Tushar Deshpande and Mukesh Choudhary are still to be the best.
CSK have lost all of their four games so far to KKR, LSG, PBKS & SRH.
On the other hand, Royal Challengers Bangalore have been fluent so far in this IPL and they must look forward to the games to come. RCB will need to play their brand of cricket.
RCB skipper Faf du Plessis is in form and he will look to capitalise on it. In terms of batting, batters have contributed for RCB and this has been a reason for their success. Bowling wise, they have Sri Lankan leggie Wanindu Hasaranga pick up wickets while pacers Akash Deep and Harshal Patel too have supported him so far.
Bangalore have beaten KKR, RR & MI so far. They have lost to PBKS.
In terms of the head to head CSK seem to have an advantage with 18 wins compared to Bangalore’s 9 out of the 28 T20’s played between them. One game is a no-result.
For the wicket, batting is for sure be supported and the bowlers in the game too with perfect deliveries.
