At the M.A. Chidambaram Stadium in Bengaluru, RCB will host CSK in the Indian Premier League 2023 season on a Monday evening. Royal Challengers Bangalore is going through a difficult phase in their current IPL campaign as they have been defeated helplessly by a couple of teams. Meanwhile, CSK hasn’t been able to put together more wins than losses on the points table as they got beaten by GT and RR, the two best teams in the IPL since 2022. With a couple of important points at stake, RCB will be looking forward to putting in a better performance at home and beating their near rivals CSK in the process.




Pitch Report

M. Chinnaswamy Stadium is known to be a batter’s paradise where they can play strokes through the line of the ball. It’s been the case in IPL 2023 as we have already seen a 200+ game at this venue. For that reason, both RCB and CSK batting lineups will be very confident to score big runs and ensure that their team is on the winning side at the end of the match.
